DAVID HOGG: Co-Founder of March For Our Lives
Join us as the Pages for Peace Foundation presents David Hogg to kick off the Bull Run Speaker Series.
On February 14, 2018, David Hogg’s life changed forever. As a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, David survived the largest school shooting in American history. Having lost friends, classmates and teachers, David decided to take action, so no other young person would have to experience what he went through on that fateful day.
Joining with his friends from his school, David co-founded March For Our Lives, a youth led gun violence prevention movement that organized one of the largest mass mobilizations this nation has ever seen on March 24, 2018. Since then, David’s activism has taken him around the country, meeting with impacted families and diverse communities to deepen his knowledge on gun safety and the politics surrounding the issue.
He is a prolific voice on social media with more than a million followers. He uses his platform to raise the voices of others who have stood up against violence to create an alliance through their shared loss to end gun violence everywhere. The son of a former FBI agent and public school teacher, Hogg states that he is a supporter of the Second Amendment and NRA members right to own guns with commonsense gun and mental health controls in place.
Hogg and the March for Our Lives student leaders were awarded the International Children's Peace Prize by Desmond TuTu.

The mission of the foundation is to promote peace education and share the messages of peace contained in Big Book: Pages for Peace with others.
