When our generation first marched in 2018, people told us we were just angry kids who didn't understand how politics worked. But together, we've proved that hope isn't just a feeling — it's an action.
First time back at @DouglasHigh since the building was demolished.
Today we dedicated Legacy Field to honor the 17 lives murdered in Parkland on 2.14.18.
Alex and 16 other angels should still be here.
Their legacy must be safer schools! ❤️
Congress had one job after the Parkland shooting: prevent the next one from happening.
Instead, they’re actively making it easier for the next tragedy to happen.

Today marks eight years since a tragic mass shooting stole 17 lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
I'm always inspired by the Parkland community that has found so much strength out of pain and grateful for the advocates who continue to lead our march toward a future free from gun violence.
Eight years ago today, 17 students and educators were murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. As we honor those we lost, we continue to fight alongside the students and families to put an end to our country’s gun violence epidemic.
For most people, it’s about love.
For the Parkland community, it’s about loss.
February 14 is still a reminder of what laws failed to protect.

My hearts still aches to remember the horrific tragedy that stole 17 innocent lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School 8 years ago.
We must honor them through action. It’s long past time to pass sensible gun reform legislation to protect our children and schools.
I wish Meadow were here to see everything I’ve accomplished. When she was killed, I was just starting community college — after barely graduating from an alternative high school — so she was thrilled to see me finally taking school seriously. Since then, I’ve made it through law school and now work at the DOJ. This journey hasn’t been the same without my biggest supporter. I keep this picture in my office as a reminder that Meadow is watching over me, telling me to keep going no matter how difficult D.C. can be. She was my most loyal friend and a trusted advisor.

This tragedy shook the nation and ignited a generation unwilling to accept gun violence as inevitable. Today and always, we honor the lives lost and stand with those fighting for change. Together, we will build a future where our kids can be safe at school.
It’s been eight years since the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
I’ll never forget the dread we all felt as Parkland families desperately waited to see if their loved ones had survived. Seventeen families received the worst news imaginable. Many more had their lives forever changed. All on a day meant to celebrate love.
Parkland has spent eight years navigating grief, trauma, activism, and the slow, grinding work of rebuilding lives the rest of the country remembers only in headlines.
Tomorrow’s anniversary isn’t just about remembrance. It’s about what America still needs to learn.
My new essay: https://t.co/wOO0OJZU5H
Eight years after the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, we came together in bipartisan press conferences to recommit to safer schools. I think about the 17 neighbors we lost every day, and I will work with anyone in Congress to ensure no other community endures that pain.
We remember the 17 lives lost and hold the Parkland families & survivors close in our hearts.
Gun violence leaves lasting scars on families, schools, and communities. We meet this moment choosing action over indifference and doing the work required to keep our communities safe.
MSD is a huge campus with multiple buildings. Being on campus wasn’t the same as being in the building where the shooting happened, and that distinction matters when we talk about what real survivors went through. You are a clout chasing goblin.
