#NEVERAGAIN puts into words the tragedy of the violence at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. David Hogg and his sister Lauren share their experiences on the day of the school shooting and the movement they helped start as a result.
These two teens along with others at Stoneman Douglas chose to mobilize through social media as a way to deal with the trauma of that horrible Valentine's Day. David explains how speaking up through interviews and twitter resulted in allowing the teens to bring attention to Parkland in a way that will hopefully have more long-lasting impact than the multiple previous school shootings that seemed to make the news for a few days before they were forgotten.
Crediting many of his teachers and his education at Stoneman Douglas, David discusses how he, his sister, and others learned how to research situations, sort through the facts and the "fake news" to present a message that is difficult for politicians, organizations, and news pundits to twist or ignore. Not willing to settle for the "thoughts and prayers" comments, the #NeverAgain movement promises to be a force that will continue to make a difference.
