The Teens That Want You to March For Our Lives

Now, you all are pretty impressive. I've watched a lot of the footage. I've seen you on TV speaking. I'd take my hat off to you, man, I think. And I just think that you all... are the catalysts for major change in this country. So, David, let me ask you this, man. Why is this voting campaign so important to you all? It's important because, at the end of the day, if our lawmakers refuse to induce common sense in this country and our laws, then we have to change our lawmakers. And the only way we can do that is to vote for morally just leaders that aren't Democrats or Republicans, but are Americans that actually represent us, our interests, and protect our lives. Brea, you've gotten some incredible support throughout this road to change to tell us about it We always have this joke, because I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, right? So it's super cold, not really from Parkland, Florida, and I wasn't there when the shooting happened. But I live in an inner city, and inner cities, you know, that's all the brutality, all the crime and the violence, and lots of youth of color are being accustomed to it. And you see violence, you see police brutality, you see bodies on the floor with carpets on there, like just blood-soaked cements and, like, all these different things that children shouldn't see, and you have this conditioned reality of it. Growing up in my community, I've always had that reality. This is what I'm supposed to be around, and that's wrong. This is not about school shootings in white suburban high schools. This is about school shootings in any other place It's about street shootings. It's about police brutality It's every single section. They've been David's been completely supportive Jamal has been completely supportive because we all come from different backgrounds But we want to see change happen and have the same same goal about what we want our change to look like now Jamal You've taken a year off from school. What's your plan? so basically what really Galvanized me to take this year off was like I lost my best friend Joaquin Oliver on February 14th And at that time I was in I was in I was in school and I figured that if I Could still stand on this earth And if I could still use my voice and use my creative abilities my voice my impact and for me it's like I know for as An individual I couldn't go on knowing that I couldn't make that difference, so I just decided that taking a year off was the best step for me. And, you know, working with David, Bria, whoever it is, Emma, it's knowing that I have a group of people around me who have the same mission in mind. Our main goal through the whole summer, we didn't know how we would do it, but we knew that we wanted to register as many young people as possible this summer. Okay, so explain the t-shirt. So we took the American flag and we put a QR code in where the stars were supposed to be. And what we did there was when you take your phone out, It registers you to vote, like you scan it, and it registers you to vote in under two minutes. Try it. And... Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. You take your phone out... Like... Scan the T-shirt... Like this. So here's... Here is just my general camera. And what I will do is, is I'll put it up to David's shirt, I'll tap it one time, and then there you go. It takes you to our voter registration website, and then you just put your information in and it registers you to vote. And how many people have you got registered? So, I mean, so far we've registered about 30,000 people with the shirt alone. Yeah, we have stories of people walking down places registering. Like, one of our friends was in D.C. before, like, the shirt was really mainstream to anyone. And that day alone, he registered, like, 20 people just walking down the street. And what we noticed is, like, this is a conversation piece. It's not left-leaning or right-leaning. It's just purely, like, what is this? Let me register to vote and let me be a part of this movement. And for us, that's what it's about. We want to civically engage. See, you all are the ones who are not having it anymore. No, Americans are the ones that are not having it anymore. That's the difference. You know, one thing I want to make sure people understand is that we are going to win. Our goal is to have the largest youth voter turnout in American history this November. The only way we're ever going to have that. And we're seeing that change. I love you all. So, listen, everybody. Get out to the polls. Their mission is to not only get you registered, we have got to vote. These midterms are important. However you wanna look at it, we gotta vote. Make your voice count.
