The US has one of the highest rates of gun violence in the developed world. Students around the country have taken a stand against this, starting the #NeverAgain movement in the wake of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, and streets all across the United States have been flooded with students demanding a set of powerful new reforms.
Despite a political culture in which the right to gun ownership is entrenched, certain gun control measures have been implemented at both the state and federal level. After years of violence, it therefore seems the student-led movement has provided some hope that positive change in the US is on the way. In this panel, we bring together the leaders of the March for Our Lives movement to reflect on this youth movement in the US, as well as on the potential for young people across the world to create change in politics and society.
