The post was captioned, "The day before the departure of the Madleen sailing to Gaza to break Israel's illegal siege and open a humanitarian sea corridor. Last boat preparation and first trainings onboard the Madleen. Emergency evacuation and basic sailing trainings but also last calm moments together before departure filled with love, care, and silly moments. #GazaFreedomFlotilla #AllEyesOnDeck #BreakTheSiege #FreePalestine."

In a post about social and climate justice in Stockholm, Chris said it was important to choose people over profit.
"It is more important than ever that we stand together to fight against hatred, violence, exploitation, extractivism, oppression, and inequality that are the results of a rich minority's never-ending greed at the expense of people and the planet," he wrote.
"We have to acknowledge our privileges and understand that it's mainly our duty to call out the injustices of the system we benefit from at the expense of all marginalized and oppressed groups," he continued. "We have to amplify their voices and fight in solidarity to dismantle this violent and destructive system."
The post included pictures of the protesters, including Greta, speaking out about change, and Chris noted that people from all walks of life were at the protest.
"People from the Kurdish, Palestinian, Sámi, Ukrainian, Congolese, Sudanese, Uyghur, Hazara, Armenian, queer, climate, and social justice movements, and many more," he wrote, "filled the streets together to demand an end to this oppressive system."
