March For Our Lives

Following the tragedy in Parkland, FL (the 18th school shooting of 2018) the students quickly organized a peaceful protest called March for Our Lives to raise awareness around gun control and to demand a change. They've got a Go Fund Me that is doing incredibly well and an Instagram documenting all of the support protests that will occur around the country on that day.

I do try to keep "political" postings few and far between here on the site but I'm clearly very pro-gun control. The facts are in, guns and people kill people. It's a combo.

If you have not watched Emma Gonzalez's speech, do it today. It's 11 minutes and it effectively captures the frustrations we all feel on this issue. I can only hope that these Parkland students are the catalyst for a larger conversation and, ideally, a movement that finally makes some impact.
