Five survivors of the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, are featured on the most recent Time magazine cover with the headline “Enough,” just days before a national protest is scheduled in Washington, D.C., along with 800 demonstrations across the U.S. and on a total of six continents.
The Time magazine article profiles the five students including Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg, who have made headlines and been thrust into the national spotlight after the shooting. The cover shows the five students looking very serious, one in bare feet, staring at the camera with posed, sad faces.
The Parkland survivors are meeting in an office and organizing around their #NeverAgain movement to try to get more gun control laws put in place to help prevent prevent future school shootings.
Among the students’ goals, the article said, is to make gun reform the central voting issue for younger voters in the midterm elections this year.
“We’re going to show these politicians that we’re coming for them,” Hogg told Time.
Lead organizer Cameron Kasky said, “The world failed us, and we’re here to make a new one that’s going to be easier on the next generation.”
Some of the featured survivors tweeted about the Time article and reminded followers about Saturday’s planned rally in Washington.
Some Twitter users did point out that conservative survivors who favor gun safety but not gun control were completely ignored in the article.
