The Think Tank chats with the “March For Our Lives” organizers
Seventeen high school students were killed in a Florida shooting. Millions marched in protest in over 200 separate protests all over the world.
An estimated 25,000 of those took place in the march in Phoenix this past week. This week’s Think Tank talks with three of the principal student organizers of the Phoenix march.
- Lindsay Schawelson is a senior at Desert Mountain High School
- Jordan Harb is a junior at Mountain View High School
- Jacob Martinez is a hunior at Dobson High School and is the former head former head of Teen Republicans
Why did these students get involved? What motivated them?
Getting 100 people to show up for something is often a daunting task. How did they get 25,000?
What, if any, outside help did they have? How did they pull it off? And what do they see as next?
Spoiler: This is an impressive lot.
