You can link to my website on social media to help promote it: ![]() Because my generation is so connected on social media, I think our message should be spread on Twitter and Instagram, and whatever other sites you use. I am asking everyone who sees this, to consider a Stand for the Second walk out at your high school. It’s pretty much just me and my friends trying to get the word out. Unfortunately, I don’t have the benefit of wealthy organizers and funders like the Parkland students enjoyed. I want a nationwide movement to defend the Constitution. However, this is not the vision I want for our movement.

These Parkland high school students do not speak for my generation.

A separate Pew Research Center poll found differences between millennials and the generations before them on two gun control proposals, outlawing “assault-style” weapons and banning magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. safer, 10 percentage points higher than the national average of 56 percent.
