“The adults know that we’re cleaning up their mess,” said Cameron Kasy, an 11th grader at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Cameron is one of the members of a group of students who started the #NeverAgain movement to curb gun violence after the Parkland shooting on February 14, 2018 where 17 people were killed. The students who began the movement were interviewed by Time Magazine just days away prior to the March for Our Lives protest that they organized in Washington DC.
“It’s like they’re saying, ‘I’m sorry I made this mess’, while continuing to spill soda on the floor,” remarked Emma Gonzalez, one of the school shooting survivors who made a powerful speech challenging government leaders to change gun laws.

In the interview it was mentioned that though these kids can’t vote, order a beer, make hotel reservations or even afford pizza without pooling their allowance, yet they have done the monumental task of starting the most powerful gun-reform movement in nearly two decades.
These kids were tired of just taking the consequences of lax gun laws, so they chose to make a difference by creating the movement and organizing March For Our Lives, a protest to end gun violence.
Remember that it's important to register for the #MarchForOurLives if you're going to the DC one (it just means that you're going, for those of us trying to get a handle on numbers) ?? https://t.co/qSrzITrutG
