Episode notes

"We were part of it and helping to reignite a movement that was already there before us," she says. "It's not just about Sandy Hook or any community that goes through just mass shootings." The list of accomplishments is long, but paradoxically so is the list of mass shootings every year,. She adds: "I don't think I've ever felt such like palpable potential for change at a protest".

Five years after March for Our Lives, one of the historic protest’s organizers and his historic friend explain why it’s easy to forget how much progress has been made. Plus, Rep. Frost breaks some news about his first proper piece of legislation.

This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin and Siona Peterous, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram and Noel King.
