I wish them much success and hope that midterm voter turnout hits an all-time high.
The March For Our Lives organizers from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland are taking their advocacy on the road this summer in two tours to register young voters and promote gun law changes.
The two-month tours announced Monday morning at the Parkland Amphitheater with about two dozen students in attendance will be called "March for Our Lives: Road to Change."
The tour will launch June 15 in Chicago.
About 20 students will be split into a Florida tour (which stops in every congressional district) and a U.S. tour that visits about 20 states. Some kids will have blackout dates and some will be on both tours.

They'll also be looking to meet with gun-control advocates and gun-control opponents alike in attempt to further the discussion. David Hogg has indicated that he hopes to meet with the NRA as well.
