Last month was the March For Our lives event, organized by the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School kids who lost so many in a gun attack on Valentine's Day.
It was a family affair for us. Three-fourths of us wanted to go, so Tod decided that Reed should be part of the experience too. (Thank goodness he was a good sport about it.) It was SO crowded, but thankfully I knew that there was no need to push forward to get closer to the stage, we just needed to be near where we could see and hear one of the big video screens along the street. So we settled in and stood in place for hours, with the crowd filling in around us.
I thought Amy would be most excited to see Lin Manuel Miranda and Ben Platt, but nope, she was there to see Emma Gonzalez, the Parkland student who made the first big splash with her "We call BS" speech.
It remains to be seen if true reform will happen, but I'm glad we showed up to support these kids and common sense gun laws.
