7. Is this the same young lady that MSNBC interviewed the day after

I thought her name was isabella gonzalez... but maybe it was emma?

If so, she appears to have cut off her hair.

In any case, her interview was one of the most compelling and articulate that I've seen... and this young lady has given a speech that will inspire old farts like me to have faith that our youngest generation will be just fine.

Some of our Democratic members could take a lesson from her.


Peace

14. WE CALL BS!!!!!

These young adults can accomplish a lot more than we give them credit for. They have energy and are angry too. This is their moment to do what so called grown ups haven't done or been willing to do. Just like the Civil Rights Movement they can change laws and be the catalyst for permanent change in this country. They are smart, determined and passionate. There time has come. More power to them! There is a Nationwide School Walkout scheduled for March 14th, 10:00-10:15 AM. I think it should be a general strike and everyone should walk out of their jobs for those 15 minutes. #ENOUGH #ENOUGH #ENOUGH

15. SHe is not afraid to say what adults are afraid to say. She directly calls BS what it is.

16. They all should be livid at trump to begin with for his speech after the shooting but

the teens are wise enough to know its not just him that wants to shift the blame
Many NRA bought politicians , local too.

17. Emma Gonzalez for president.

May take a few years, but she will make a great president one day.

19. As Smokey Robinson said:

I second that emotion!

[CTyankee]

21. My thought entirely!

She has passion and guts. If she hasn't already considered a political future, I hope she will. Events like this can change lives. When my niece was gunned down, her sister was in such torment that she changed her career ideas and went into the ministry instead. Emma should at least consider a career in politics. She is a true leader.
