Episode notes

I think it was about showing physically how big the support is for this. By showing up there physically, I think we did a couple of things. One, it enabled us to help register voters. Do it helps set the tone for a generation and a cultural shift in that generation to say this is who we are? For the most part, what we stand for is making sure that kids are safe in their communities and in their schools.

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.
