This conference in the nation’s capital is the latest of a slew of student activism since a February mass shooting at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Students from across the country have since traveled to major cities to take part in marches and protests, and schools have held walkouts of their own to take a stand on gun violence and gun control. Though months have passed since the Valentine’s Day shooting, the Stoneman Douglas students and other supporters have managed to keep the conversation going, unlike with similar events in the past.
