“Fight for your lives before it’s someone else’s job”

Two short videos from yesterday’s March for Our Lives. The first is Parkland shooting survivor Emma Gonzalez. Stick with the bit in the middle, this is a woman holding the attention of hundreds of thousands of people.

The second is Naomi Wadler’s reminder that Black Lives Matter, that African Americans in particular have been at the forefront of the push for gun control for a long time, and that this goes beyond school shootings.

I’m not going to say much other than I find it incredibly exciting to imagine what these stunning women/girls will do over the course of their lives. Also, they understand the power of the vote. More than that will be needed but this is a generation of activists coming of age. All power to them.
