A gripping and true reflection on the start of the March For Our Lives from the students who lead it. I remember the day of the shooting, and I remember the start of their activism from a distance - following them on Twitter and Instagram and watching as they publicly grieved, planned, and organized. It was inspiring then, and it’s inspiring now. Hearing about the march in Washington DC especially made me tear up. It’s incredible what they’ve built, and was moving to hear more about the foundations and relationships behind the scenes.
