WATCH: Emma Gonzalez names the murdered Parkland victims and observes several minutes of silence in a 6-minute, 20-second speech that covered the same time it took the gunman to kill 17 people in her high school:
"Fight for your lives before it's someone else's job."
like to get help it isn't enough to feel s*icidal, depressed etc and it makes me so frustrated because the people that get declined because they 'aren't sick enough' WILL get worse and eventually maybe attempt s*icide
Emma Gonzalez stares into the crowd in silence as tears stream down her cheeks for 6 minutes and 23 seconds, the time it took for a gunman to take 17 lives in Parkland. Powerful. #MarchForOurLives
