Hats off to the young leaders of MARCH FOR OUR LIVES
In this polarized world, I think we can at least all agree that young people are our future. And what an inspiration are those who have stepped up to stand for a cause, even in their darkest hours.
Kudos to Emma González, David Hogg, Sarah Chadwick, Cameron Kasky and all their steadfast fellow Parkland survivors. And to all the other student activists who refuse to sit idly by and watch the lawmakers offer nothing but 'thoughts and prayers' to those affected by Gun Violence.
The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Never Again MSD movement is gaining momentum and will show its muscle to all who watch Capitol Hill on Saturday for this crucial March for Our Lives. Never before have this many young people been so galvanized to make this kind of impact in recent memory.
I for one stand by them. In their resolute, and unwavering desire to make the world a safer place for every citizen of this country. The outdated, self-serving agenda of the NRA must go away. TODAY.
We. Start. NOW.
