"Cameron Kasky is a fighter. He knows what it’s like to be failed by the American political system. In 2018, Cameron survived the massacre at his high school in Parkland, Florida that killed 17 human beings. Faced with unspeakable tragedy, he united his classmates and led March For Our Lives, one of the largest movements in U.S. history. As a teenager, he stood up to Marco Rubio and the Republicans bought off by the gun lobby, and worked with legislators in Washington to pass life-saving gun safety legislation. But it’s not just about taking on MAGA: it’s about disrupting the system where both parties have paved the way for Trump’s regime. In the face of rising authoritarianism, Cameron is ready to take the fight back to Capitol Hill and represent progressive values for the greatest city in the world."
