POLK March For Our Lives

The Lakeland, Florida, edition of March For Our Lives was organized by high school students of Polk SALT (Students Against Latent Terror). 

The Never Again movement against gun violence was ignited by the Feb. 14, 2018, shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.  Then, on March 24, 2018, March For Our Lives demonstrations were held all over the United States and in cities across the globe.

Over 200,000 people attended the main event in Washington, D.C.

Held downtown in Munn Park, hundreds attended the Lakeland event. The high school student speakers from Bartow and Lakeland included:

Kinsey Akers: Experience of school shootings
Hartlea Bays: Today I speak for those who can't
Gabriela Nadeau: "Bang, Bang (an unfortunate romance)"
Shashwat Bansal: Arguments against gun violence
Rebecca McDermott: "America is a Gun"
Lily Burse: Mental health
Kit Emery: read a poem by another student at our school who wished to remain anonymous
Emma Schindler: Education to stop violence
Jillian Keifer: "Fire Alarm"
Stanley Jones: Fixing the problem for younger students
Grady Daniels: Not acceptable
