As a result of the school shooting last week in Parkland, Florida that took 17 lives, a movement has emerged.
The group, "Never Again MSD" has been formed by some students who survived the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. They are vowing not to return to school until "changes have been made" by Congress.
One of the group's founders, 17-year-old Alex Wind, told The Washington Post, "This isn't about politicians; this is about victims. We will not let those 17 people die in vain because if nothing gets done, I am not going back to school, Cameron Kasky will not be coming back to school, Emma Gonzalez will not be going back to school. None of us from the Never Again Movement will be going back to school until legislation has been passed and until changes have been made." He continued, "If these laws caused the shooting in the first place, what's going to stop another shooting if the laws don't change?"
The group has already planned a rally on March 24th in Washington D.C. and in several other cities around the country. Never Again MSD has the support of several Democrats, gun control advocates, and even Justin Beiber. In just a few days, the group has grown to 20 students who have vowed to stay out of school until a change is made.
