Emma Gonzalez, president of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas GSA, an openly bisexual Latina activist, one of the many students and young people advocating for gun control in the wake of the mass shooting at MSD will provide brief remarks at Saturday's 2018 Equality Florida Miami Gala and hold a moment of silence in remembrance of the 17 lives taken in the Parkland massacre. GSA sponsors Diane Wolk-Rogers and Mario Caicedo will accept the Voice for Equality Award on behalf of the GSA and their students.
“Students from the GSA at Stoneman-Douglas High School are an integral part of the student-led movement that has been a catalyst for demanding action by politicians to confront gun violence. Equality Florida honors them and their advisors for their leadership, resolve and the clarity of their voices in launching the #NeverAgain movement," said Nadine Smith, Executive Director of Equality Florida. “It will be an inspiring and moving evening as we celebrate the GSA along with SAVE and the Huizenga Family Foundation – these are the individuals and groups that will make Florida a more equitable, safe place for all of us. We are thrilled to honor their work,” concluded Smith.
The Miami gala will be held this Saturday, March 10th, at 6:00 p.m. at the Eden Roc Miami Beach!
