"When Cate Whitman saw the news of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, she immediately called the youth initiative coordinator of the Women’s March to see how she could get involved in the response.
Now Whitman, a 17-year-old high school junior in New York City, is one of thousands of students around the country who plan to participate in a walkout on March 14, the one-month anniversary of the shooting. The walkout, organized by Women’s March Youth EMPOWER, the youth affiliate of Women’s March, is one of several demonstrations planned by a variety of groups to call for action on gun control — another is the March For Our Lives on March 24.
To get a sense of what the walkout will look like, and what it’s like to be a teenager organizing against gun violence today, I spoke to Whitman and Winter Minisee, a 17-year-old high school senior from Riverside, California, who got involved with the Women’s March after meeting the co-chairs at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Annual Legislative Conference last year.
Both are helping organize the March 14 demonstrations at their schools and around the country, and both talked to me about why this could be a turning point for gun violence in America, why it’s important to talk about shootings that don’t happen at schools, and why critics of teenage activists need to pick up a history book.
This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity and style."
