After the terror, still wiping the tears, the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School resolve that their classmates’ deaths will lead to change.
Their message: “Never again.”
Never again will a gunman terrorize a school building. Never again will a mass murderer leave a community grieving.
“We’re here to make change,” senior Ariana Ortega, 17, said Sunday at the funeral of her friend Alexander Schatcher. “We don’t want any other community going through this. There is something wrong with our country right now. This is common sense.”
The teens plan a trip to Tallahassee this week to lobby legislators for gun control. They are organizing a March in Washington, D.C., on March 24. They are appearing on national TV to question why the country’s leaders have not done something to end the violence.
“We are saying as young adults, enough is enough and we are taking that message as far as possible,” Emma Gonzalez, 18, a senior at Stoneman Douglas, told thousands at a rally Saturday.
