The recent student victims of the Great Mills High School shooting in Maryland, as well as the 17 victims of the February 14, 2018 tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida are at the forefront of our minds and so press upon our hearts.

This was a way to show our government that we want to effect change. It was a way for us to have a voice when sometimes we feel so powerless.
