That Feeling When... (art by Jon Lion)

A portrait of Emma Gonzales by Jon Lion. Emma is a survivor of a school shooting, in which 17 students and teachers were killed on February 14, 2018. Emma has since become an anti-gun-violence activist, and her speeches are known for being fiery, passionate, and scathing. She has criticized lawmakers and President trump for receiving money from the NRA:

 

"If the President wants to ... tell me to my face that it was a terrible tragedy ... I'm going to happily ask him how much money he received from the National Rifle Association. ... Thirty million dollars. And divided by the number of gunshot victims in the United States in the one and one-half months in 2018 alone, that comes out to being $5,800. Is that how much these people are worth to you, trump?" — Emma Gonzalez

 

Also:

 

"The people in the government who are voted into power are lying to us ... And us kids seem to be the only ones who notice and are prepared to call B.S." — Emma Gonzalez
