The Online Social Movement of #NeverAgain: the rise of students

After the shooting that resulted in the deaths of 17 students and staff in February 2018 in Parkland, a student council at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (MSD) was formed to call for reforms in weapons control and prevent school shootings. The student council brings together many prominent names like David Hogg, Emma González, Cameron Kasky Jaclyn Corin, and many other students. It was forty days after the shootings at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida that a group of students mobilized to conduct a national protest to support gun control in the United States(Burch& Mazze,2018)

Operating under the banner of March for Our Lives, the emerging movement utilizes the hashtag #NeverAgain as a calling card (Alperstein& Jones, 2020). Many protests took place across the United States, attracting millions of participants, including "March for Our Lives" on March 24, 2018, in Washington, DC. In June 2018, members of this student council decided to travel across the United States and organize protests that summer, while encouraging teenagers who would turn 18 to vote in the 2018 election. The protest was energized after receiving more than $500,000 in donations from George and Amal Clooney and many other celebrities. Michelle and Barack Obama also wrote a handwritten letter to Parkland students, expressing admiration for their advocacy against gun violence in March 2018.

During the difficult protest, the MSD student body used the hashtag #NeverAgain on social networking platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and X (Twitter) to raise awareness about the campaign. Emma González is one of the most typical and famous faces, having twice as many followers as the National Rifle Association (NRA) on X and she inspired others to join the movement, comforting the students who survived shootings around the world and criticizing politicians who she felt treated her and other student survivors of gun violence with little or no respect. Following that, a series of other members also shared their messages with #NeverAgain and #MarchforOurLives and called on other users to tweet. The hashtag #NeverAgain became a hot hashtag on search engines and created a large media wave on social networks.

Although passing new gun control laws still faces many political challenges, the movement has received many positive results. Specifically, the Florida legislature passed a bill titled the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act which raised the minimum age for purchasing firearms to 21, established waiting periods and testing background checks, providing arming programs for some teachers and hiring school police, banning the sale of guns, and banning potentially violent or mentally unhealthy people from being arrested under certain laws determined.

It can be seen that the success of #NeverAgain has become one of the typical examples of the spread of hashtags on social networking platforms.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is a putz. He uses his pseudo-libertarian views to grandstand.

In this case, he’s doing the work of Vladimir Putin in the US Senate.

Cameron kasky is a whole ass bitch! I’m not a violent person but I never wanted to beat the daylights out of someone so bad. Bi people straight people like him if only if they could all just stop existing for one moment so I could know peace!!!

Literally bragging that he can use homophobic slurs because he came out as straight but maybe bi! Called it magical

Bi people would never truly understand homophobia. They don’t experience it. Not as gay men do. Not as harshly as gay men do. Not as lonely as gay men do.

The gay men eating his vile homophobic post up can’t do it I just can’t

Unpopular opinion

If Josh and Cameron didn’t want people speculating over their love life, they���d stop saying they are going on dates or calling each other babe or whatever. 

Either they’re together or they’re not, but they are asking for people to ship them, so stop acting like it’s some horrific assault on their private life to do so.

And yes, I do know Josh will probably see this, and I really don’t care. He’s being really childish.  It’s not queerbaiting because they are both queer, but it is some kind of baiting and it’s really uncool.
