Young activists like our panelists inspired our country after the Parkland, Florida, school shooting that left 17 people dead. They have raised their voices to condemn America’s epidemic of gun violence and to challenge all of us to take action. Student leaders organized the March for Our Lives and the March to the Midterms Get Out the Vote rally. You will find them on the cover of Time magazine’s November 5th issue. You will see them in the documentary “No More Thoughts and Prayers.”

Our panelists are among the many young people fighting for a future free of gun violence. Representing Ceasefire STL and Students Demand Action St. Louis, they will share their stories and perspectives on gun violence prevention. What brought them to this movement? What initiatives are they involved in now? What do they see as the future of this movement? How can we support their work?

Come to be inspired by their courage and determination, and bring your questions for these outstanding student leaders.
