\nDAVID HOGG: Co-Founder of \;March For Our Lives \;
\n
\nJoin us as the Pages for Peace Foundation presents David Hogg to kick off the Bull Run Speaker Series.
\n
\nOn February 14\, 2018\, David Hogg&rsquo\;s life changed forever. As a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland\, Florida\, David survived the largest school shooting in American history. Having lost friends\, classmates and teachers\, David decided to take action\, so no other young person would have to experience what he went through on that fateful day. \;
\n
\nJoining with his friends from his school\, David co-founded March For Our Lives\, a youth led gun violence prevention movement that organized one of the largest mass mobilizations this nation has ever seen on March 24\, 2018. Since then\, David&rsquo\;s activism has taken him around the country\, meeting with impacted families and diverse communities to deepen his knowledge on gun safety and the politics surrounding the issue. \;
\n
\nHe is a prolific voice on social media with more than a million followers. He uses his platform to raise the voices of others who have stood up against violence to create an alliance through their shared loss to end gun violence everywhere. \;The son of a former FBI agent and public school teacher\, Hogg states that he is a supporter of the Second Amendment and NRA members right to own guns with commonsense gun and mental health controls in place.
\n
\nHogg \;and the March for Our Lives student leaders were awarded the International Children'\;s Peace Prize by Desmond TuTu.

\nThe Pages for Peace Foundation believes that young people have the power to create a more peaceful world. Inspired by educator Betsy Sawyer\, students from the after-school Peace Club at Groton Dunstable Middle School worked for 12 years to build the biggest book in the world on the topic of peace. The mission of the foundation is to promote peace education and share the messages of peace contained in Big Book: Pages for Peace with others. We are proud to be bringing David Hogg to our community and to offer discount ticket pricing to students. \;
