There are few details about the march but the students have already announced they will head to Washington D.C. "to demand that their lives and safety become a priority and that we end this epidemic of mass school shootings." They are also encouraging other communities to march in their own cities across the country.
Students like Chadwick, Emma González, Cameron Kasky and many more have turned the hashtag #NeverAgain into an rallying point for continued strategy for gun control—and their dogged efforts (and Twitter call outs) are working. According to Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight, the Google searches for the term "gun control" is still strong, suggesting that this is a conversation that will not disappear anytime soon, thanks in part to these students and their mobilization.
