Repost: Parkland Shooting Survivors and "The March For Our Lives" people have been very busy.
When David Hogg and other survivors of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida
went to congress looking to get some help and sensible gun laws they were all but laughed at and now they are coming
for their jobs in massive #s.
'It's Going to Require Every Young Person.' March for Our Lives Activists Urge Young Americans to Vote
A month after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, David Hogg stood in front of a crowd of hundreds of thousands gathered at the U.S. Capitol to demand an end to gun violence. “Who here is going to vote in the 2018 election?” asked Hogg, then a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas and co-founder of student-led group March for Our Lives (MFOL). “If you listen real close, you can hear the people in power shaking.”

Now Hogg believes young voters will be the ones to decide this race’s outcome. In Florida, a critical state for President Donald Trump’s re-election, young voters are already turning out in big numbers. Recent data from polling firm TargetSmart shows more than 419,000 voters between the ages of 18 to 29 have cast their ballots in Florida so far — a 34% surge over the same group in 2018. “These elections really do matter,” Hogg says. “They’re not about voting for Democrats or Republicans. For young people, frankly, it’s about our survival.”
Hogg and other survivors of the Parkland shooting, in which 17 people died, have long been outspoken critics of Trump. On Oct. 22, Hogg tweeted video of Biden comforting the son of a Parkland school shooting victim, writing, “Trump never even came to Parkland. He spent 35 minutes taking photos at a nearby hospital, which he used in a fundraising email, then left for a disco party at Mar-a-Lago and golfed during the victims’ funerals.”

On Oct. 24, Hogg and other youth activists joined a coalition of advocacy groups to host ‘VOTE WITH US,’ a virtual rally that encouraged young people across the country to vote. The event kicked off an 11-day on-the-ground effort to mobilize youth voters before Nov. 3. It showed never-before-seen clips of the film ‘Us Kids’, a documentary by Kim Snyder that follows the development of the MFOL movement.

A big blue wave is coming.

for those of us who have survived floods. 
OTOH, it's rather therapeutic to imagine this happening at Mar-a-Lago. 
they've been working and organizing, largely under the radar, to register and motivate young voters to GOTV since the Parkland terrorist shooting.
