A March For Our Lives
This past weekend, the country watched as hundreds of thousands of students gathered for the “March For Our Lives” Rally, to advocate for gun control reform in the United States. Today, I am joined by Katie Kerns, who attended the march in Washington D.C. Katie shares her perspective and experience at the march, and together we look at the most significant themes and messages shared this weekend. We talk about the diversity of the speakers, how these students intentionally opened the stage for students from Chicago and D.C. and Oakland, to talk about the larger problem around gun violence in America, beyond mass shootings in schools. We talked about the courage of students like Naomi Wadler, DeAngelo McDade, and the students of Parkland, FL. Both Katie and I were emotionally moved by the stories of these students and their messages of survival and calls for action. I hope listeners can enjoy and appreciate our recap of such an important moment in this movement.
