Founders
On February 14, 2018 the lives of
students, teachers and falculty at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in
Parkland, Florida were forever changed when a gunman walked into their school,
killing 17 people. Instead of wallowing in their grief, various students began
to take action and came together to fight for gun control and formed March for
Our Lives. On March 24, 2018, just 5 weeks and 3 days later, their protest took
place not only in Washington D.C., but all over the world. This is the story of
how they got there.
An impactful, collaborative
collection of stories written by the teens who organized March For Our Lives.
These individuals include Jaclyn Corin, Cameron Kasky, David Hogg, Emma
Gonzalez, and Alex Wind. Each organizer shares how they felt after that tragic
February day, why they decided to get involved, and how they felt on that
remarkable March day. Those sensitive to the topic of gun violence may want to
pass on this one (though the focus isn’t the day itself) but others should not
miss this inspiring read.
