Introduction
The #MarchForOurLives Movement is a student-run organization that supports gun laws and gun prevention measures. Their official mission statement is “Not One More,” representing the idea that not one more person will be killed during a school shooting or any meaningless gun violence. Together, students across the nation have come together under this movement, holding marches in protest of current gun laws. This movement is also not specific to school shootings; it also addresses gun laws related to suicide, abuse, street violence, and generally the usage of guns as a harmful weapon against others. [ 1] This movement is one of the largest student run-organization protests in the history of the United States since the Vietnam War; drawing over 1 million people from around the world to come together and protest. [ 2] Social media played a large role in the March for Our Lives Movement, due to a multitude of factors, including the youth of this movement and the increased usage of social platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat as ways to communicate across greater geographic distance. The March for Our Lives Movement started after the tragic mass school shooting incident at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. This was the first key event that led to students from this high school to find the organization Never Again MSD.
