A nationwide rally for gun control is about to go down on Saturday, March 24 and this time, it's students leading the pack. Advocating for gun control reform and better school safety, students and their allies will take to the streets for the March For Our Lives demonstration and Never Again movement. Survivors of the Parkland, Florida shooting founded the first student-run Never Again organization and the March For Our Lives is one of the organization's main events. More like this

The Never Again movement was born on Feb. 15, 2018, one day after a mass shooting occurred at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. In total, 17 students and staff members were killed and more than a dozen others were injured. Despite happening only 7 weeks into the year, the massacre was already America's 8th school shooting that resulted in death. Devastated by the loss of classmates and faculty, a group of students decided they needed more than just "thoughts and prayers" in the aftermath of gun violence. # NeverAgain emerged from the horror and the national movement has become one of the most prominent opponents of gun lobbying by the National Rifle Association. MSD students Cameron Kasky, Alex Wind, and Sofie Whitney first cofounded the Never Again movement.
