Be the Change: Tools for a Movement Cameron Kasky
King Concert Hall, General Seating
General Public: Free
Tickets Required - Limit of four for the general public, Limit of 1 per student with ID
On Feb. 14, 2018, the lives of Cameron Kasky and his fellow students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School were forever changed when a lone gunman committed the deadliest high school shooting in United States history, killing 17 students and staff members and injuring 17 more. In the days following the shooting, Kasky and several of the other survivors founded the #NeverAgain gun-control movement. In an interview with Anderson Cooper, Kasky bluntly stated that “my generation won’t stand for this.” They subsequently organized March for Our Lives, which would become one of the largest public demonstrations in American history with over one million people filling the streets of Washington, D.C. He and his classmates have traveled to over 70 cities in more than 20 states around the country on the Road to Change tour to advocate for gun control and promote youth engagement in political activism.
