One Year Anniversary: Remembering the 17 Precious Lives Lost in Parkland, Florida

 
February 14, 2019 marks the first anniversary when we commemorate the precious lives that were taken at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida.
 
We remember the 17 students and teachers: Alyssa Alhadeff, Martin Duque Anguiano, Scott Beigel, Nicholas Dworet, Aaron Feis, Jaime Guttenberg, Chris Hixon, Luke Hoyer, Cara Loughran, Gina Montalto, Joaquin Oliver, Alaina Petty, Meadow Pollack, Helena Ramsay, Alex Schachter, Carmen Schentrup, and Peter Wang.
 
Following this tragedy, we were inspired by the response of the Parkland families and students who mobilized so quickly to demand change. In the face of tragedy, they founded the youth-led March For Our Lives movement. At VOICES Resiliency Symposium in September, we were honored to hear testimony from family advocate Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter Jaime died in the shootings.
