Spokesman Cameron Kasky said, “I think that a lot of politicians out there do not want a lot of young people voting. We can fix the political system.” He added that his generation can help “change the game” without surrendering to “dirty, awful politics.”
David Hogg, another Stoneman Douglas student, stated, “Over the summer we’re going to key congressional districts … we’re basically trying to promote the largest youth voter turnout ever in the history of the United States. And making sure the kids that are affected by this most are able to vote on these issues.”
