Listen to the children

Amidst the despair and horror of yet another school shooting, I find a glimmer of hope.

The student survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre are telling us theirs will be the last school shooting. May it be so.

It's time we listen to the young people who are speaking out, standing up, and demanding that we have the backbone to keep future generations safe from gun violence.

Too many members of Congress have been afraid to stand up to the NRA and pass commonsense gun safety legislation.

We need to do better. For the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. For the grieving families and friends. For the young people across the nation who look to us to protect them. For future generations.

These students inspire us to do better. They are our glimmer of hope.
