Watch: "One Bullet"

March For Our Lives - Raleigh

If a society can be measured by how safe it keeps its kids, then America must do better. From border to border and coast to coast, American children across every demographic told personal stories of loss, anger, and resolve just shy of the steps of Congress reaching almost to the front door of the White House; in every state of the union, across the continents of the world, with a simple message to all elected officials: Enough!

13,000 people marched from City Plaza to Halifax Mall in Raleigh to be heard in the national conversation around gun violence which was sparked by the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, leaving 17 dead on February 14, 2018. I delivered the the featured speech "One Bullet" at the rally.

Lauren Smith and Amber Mitchell, both fifteen-year-old students, decided to take matters into their own hands after reflecting on the countless mass shootings that they've grown up with.  They're in the large picture in the collage below.  I enjoyed sharing this special moment with thousands of people. I'm glad that so many havedescribe my speech as powerful and inspiring.
