School students from Montgomery County, Md., in suburban Washington, rally in solidarity with those affected by the shooting at Parkland High School.

The Last School Shooting

On the Media | Feb 23, 2018

Over the past few days, outside the capitol building in Tallahassee and even in the offices of some state legislators, the survivors of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have furthered what they describe as a non-partisan, and long-due movement: #NeverAgain. The students, some of whom traveled to Tallahassee after burying their friends, had an audacious hypothesis: that the Parkland school shooting could be the last school shooting.

According to Emily Witt, who wrote about their response for the New Yorker, the students began organizing within hours of the massacre. She traveled to Florida last week, and documented the movement's inception in an article titled, "How the Survivors of Parkland Began the Never Again Movement."
