School is out, and on Monday student activists at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School announced the next phase of their movement – a sweeping summer bus tour across 20 states to register young people to vote and campaign for deep reforms to the nation’s gun laws.
“A lot of people have slowly been less excited about voting because people have been getting tired of the political system, but the thing is, we can fix the system,” Cameron Kasky, a Stoneman Douglas student and one of the key leaders of the March for Our Lives movement, said as he announced the tour at the Parkland Ampitheater in Pine Trails Park, about two miles from their high school in Parkland, Fla.
“Our generation – and the many generations that are helping us – can change the game," Kasky said. "We do not have to surrender to dirty, awful politics. We can make it better and the best way to do that is to vote.”
Behind Kasky, more than 20 students held placards that said “ROAD TO CHANGE.”
Since a shooter rampaged through their high school on Feb. 14 with an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, killing 14 students and three staff members, March For Our Lives has organized more than 800 marches for gun control across the country.
In just three weeks, the students, along with families of the victims, pushed Florida's largely Republican Legislature to pass a $400-million school safety bill in defiance of the National Rifle Assn. They have organized school walkouts, marched in Washington, set up voter registration booths in schools and urged boycotts of companies that support the NRA.
Still, they have yet to persuade Congress to pass a comprehensive national bill to address gun violence.

Next “stage” is the perfect description. These are all staged events. The performances are written and produced by those who have an agenda that has nothing to do with keeping Parkland HS students safe.
Don’t these gets all hustle to get summer jobs as my kids and grandkids had to do?
.
How can we miss them if they won’t go away?
The media actively promotes them. The lefty journalists openly support their cause.
Parkland? Next stage: BEACH PARTY!
Under truth in advertising laws, there should be the caption “Paid Spokesperson” every time they appear on the TV screen. Hello FCC.
These ghouls need a Hillary Health Care Express Bus Tour welcoming wherever they go.
Deep? I guess they don't want to scare people with specifics.
:-)
Yup. Maybe they can hook up with American Idol tour 2018 and insert their lies in there as well. Guess them bake sales paid off to fund the 70 city tour huh? Yup, “little davy and the hoggalites”.
Who is paying for this?
Didn't some of these kids graduate last month?
When I was in HS, I only took ONE summer vacation and that was my junior year only for 2 weeks to Italy for my grandparent’s anniversary.
AFTER THAT, I worked (so I could save for my car). I learned that you do NOT go on vacation just because it’s summer. EVERYONE goes on summer vacation so why join the crowds?
Stick a fork in ‘em, they’re dead.
That image of Camera Hogg giving a Nazi fascist salute at their DC rally is going to dog Democrats through this entire election season.
They have jobs this summer
