The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students spent Tuesday urging Sarasota residents to vote.

As Ringling College of Art and Design students made their way on Tuesday morning across the campus’ crosswalk that serves as a sort of central thoroughfare, they looked up from their cell phones or conversations with their friends to see someone who could have been a fellow student urging them to vote.

Hogg was in Sarasota along with about 8 other students from Parkland as part of the group’s fall segment of their Vote for Our Lives bus tour. The students spent Tuesday morning coloring the sidewalks of Ringling College with chalk, adding the words “Vote” wherever they could. After leaving Ringling, the students went to University of South Florida, Sarasota-Manatee and Siesta Key for a beach barbecue, according to the schedule posted on their website.

“We are trying to come to places where this typically wouldn’t have happened if we weren’t here,” said 18-year-old Parkland student Sofie Whitney. - Harold-Tribune
