Quote by Gabrielle Jordan

“Whenever you feel like you’re too old, that you don’t have the right clothes to wear, need to lose weight first, feel self-conscious, or think it’s easier to just crawl back under the covers and hover your remote—that’s the moment—the exact moment—to let go of your fears and ‘Just Do It.”

“Why is it we don’t intervene in the bureaucracy?” asks Chris Bobel, the gender studies scholar, who has noted that many young activists prefer “DIY activism” – making art, changing their own consumer habits, making their own products rather than buying corporate ones. They tell her, “We don’t want to be in bed with the enemy,” she says. “That’s not where change happens. That’s old-school activism. We’re all about DIY’”. Bobel sighs. “A lot of these activists weren’t even registered voters.”
