I was 11 when Sandy Hook happened; it was the first school shooting that I remember hearing about. Gun legislation wasn’t a topic of conversation for me then—but today I saw children even younger who faced the fear of dying in their own schools. And yet, the middle of the streets became a safety net for them, and for us all. I felt nothing but love and unity as we swept downtown, thousands of people lifting one another.
I’ve never seen so many young people join together in a movement like this, and I can honestly say I’ve never been more proud to be a part of this generation. We are change. We are electricity. We will fuel the powers of the future.
