How the Survivors of Parkland Began the Never Again Movement
By Emily WittFebruary 19, 2018
David Hogg is one of the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, in Parkland, Florida, who started the Never Again movement, to advocate for gun control, after a mass shooting at their school.
By Sunday, only four days after the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland, Florida, the activist movement that emerged in its aftermath had a name (Never Again), a policy goal (stricter background checks for gun buyers), and a plan for a nationwide protest (a March for Our Lives, scheduled for March 24th). It also had a panel of luminary teens who were reminding America that the shooting was not a freak accident or a natural disaster but the result of actual human decisions.
The funerals continued in Parkland and surrounding cities—for the students Jaime Guttenberg and Joaquin Oliver and Alex Schachter and the geography teacher Scott Beigel—with attendance sometimes surpassing a thousand people. On a local level, at least, the activism did not overshadow the grieving. The tragedy affected this student body of more than three thousand people in different ways: some students lost their closest friends, others hallway acquaintances. And the student leaders knew, with the clarity of thought that had distinguished them from the beginning, that the headline-industrial complex granted only a very narrow window of attention. Had they waited even a week to start advocating for change, the reporters would have gone home.
Also, different people express grief in different ways. The activists are grieving, too, but it’s not a coincidence that a disproportionate number of the Never Again leaders are dedicated members of the drama club. Cameron Kasky is a theatre kid. Before he went on Anderson Cooper, he was best known as a class clown. “I’m a talker,” he told me. “The only thing I’ve had this whole time is the fact that I never shut up.” Kasky started writing Facebook posts in the car after he and his brother, who has special needs, were picked up after the shooting by their dad. “I’m safe,” he wrote in the first, posted two hours after the shooting. “Thank you to all the second amendment warriors who protected me.” For the rest of the day, in between posts about missing students and recalling the experience of hiding in a classroom with his brother, Kasky’s frustration grew: “Can’t sleep. Thinking about so many things. So angry that I’m not scared or nervous anymore . . . I’m just angry,” he wrote. “I just want people to understand what happened and understand that doing nothing will lead to nothing. Who’d have thought that concept was so difficult to grasp?”
The social-media posts led to an invitation from CNN to write an op-ed, which led to televised interviews in the course of the day. “People are listening and people care,” Kasky wrote. “They’re reporting the right things.” That night, Thursday, after the candlelight vigil ended, Kasky invited a few friends over to his house to try to start a movement. “Working on a central space that isn’t just my personal page for all of us to come together and change this,” he posted. “Stay alert. #NeverAgain.” He had thought of the name, he later told me, “while sitting on the toilet in my Ghostbuster pajamas.” In early interviews Kasky had criticized the Republican Party, but he and his friends had decided since that the movement should be nonpartisan. Surely everyone—gun owner or pacifist, conservative or liberal—could agree that school massacres should be stopped. The group stayed up all night creating social-media accounts and trying to figure out what needed to be said, “because the important thing here wasn’t talking about gore,” Kasky said on Sunday. “It was talking about change and it was talking about remembrance.” It was then that they decided to petition for more thorough background checks. As Alfonso Calderon, a co-founder of Never Again, who was there that night, told me, “Nikolas Cruz, the shooter at my school, was reported to the police thirty-nine times.” He added, “We have to vote people out who have been paid for by the N.R.A. They’re allowing this to happen. They’re making it easier for people like Nick Cruz to acquire an AR-15.”

They launched their new Facebook page just before midnight on February 15th. “Thank you to everybody who has been so supportive of our community and please remember to keep the memory of those beloved people we’ve lost fresh in your minds,” Kasky wrote.
While Kasky, Calderon, and their other friends huddled among snack wrappers in a gated-community war room, another student was developing a different plan. Jaclyn Corin is the seventeen-year-old junior-class president at Marjory Stoneman Douglas. She woke up the morning after the attack to the confirmation that her missing friend, Joaquin Oliver, was among them.

Cómo los sobrevivientes de Parkland comenzaron el movimiento Never Again
Por Emily Witt, 19 de febrero de 2018
David Hogg es uno de los estudiantes de Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, en Parkland, Florida, que comenzó el movimiento Never Again, para abogar por el control de armas, después de un tiroteo masivo en su escuela.
El domingo, solo cuatro días después del tiroteo en la escuela Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, en Parkland, Florida, el movimiento activista que surgió después tuvo un nombre (nunca más), un objetivo político (verificaciones de antecedentes más estrictas para los compradores de armas), y un plan para una protesta nacional (una Marcha por Nuestras Vidas, programada para el 24 de marzo). También tenía un panel de adolescentes luminarias que le recordaban a Estados Unidos que el tiroteo no fue un accidente extraño o un desastre natural, sino el resultado de decisiones humanas reales.
Los funerales continuaron en Parkland y las ciudades circundantes, para los estudiantes Jaime Guttenberg y Joaquin Oliver y Alex Schachter y el profesor de geografía Scott Beigel, con asistencia que a veces supera las mil personas. A nivel local, al menos, el activismo no eclipsó al duelo. La tragedia afectó a este cuerpo estudiantil de más de tres mil personas de diferentes maneras: algunos estudiantes perdieron a sus amigos más cercanos, otros a conocidos del pasillo. Y los líderes estudiantiles sabían, con la claridad de pensamiento que los había distinguido desde el principio, que el complejo industrial general solo otorgaba una ventana de atención muy estrecha. Si hubieran esperado incluso una semana para comenzar a abogar por el cambio, los reporteros se habrían ido a casa.
Además, diferentes personas expresan su dolor de diferentes maneras. Los activistas también están de duelo, pero no es una coincidencia que un número desproporcionado de los líderes Nunca Más sean miembros dedicados del club de teatro. Cameron Kasky es un chico de teatro. Antes de ir a Anderson Cooper, era mejor conocido como un payaso de la clase. "Soy un hablador", me dijo. "Lo único que he tenido todo este tiempo es el hecho de que nunca me callé". Kasky comenzó a escribir publicaciones en Facebook en el automóvil después de que él y su hermano, que tiene necesidades especiales, fueron recogidos después del tiroteo por parte de su padre. "Estoy a salvo", escribió en el primero, publicado dos horas después del tiroteo. "Gracias a todos los guerreros de la segunda enmienda que me protegieron". Durante el resto del día, entre mensajes sobre estudiantes desaparecidos y recordando la experiencia de esconderse en un aula con su hermano, la frustración de Kasky creció: "No puedo dormir. Pensando en tantas cosas. Tan enojado que ya no estoy asustado ni nervioso. . . Estoy enojado ", escribió. "Solo quiero que la gente entienda lo que sucedió y entienda que no hacer nada no conducirá a nada. ¿Quién hubiera pensado que ese concepto era tan difícil de entender?
Las publicaciones en los medios sociales dieron lugar a una invitación de CNN para escribir un artículo de opinión, que dio lugar a entrevistas televisadas en el transcurso del día. "La gente escucha y las personas se preocupan", escribió Kasky. "Están informando las cosas correctas". Esa noche, el jueves, después de que finalizó la vigilia con velas, Kasky invitó a algunos amigos a su casa para tratar de iniciar un movimiento. "Trabajar en un espacio central que no es solo mi página personal para que todos nos unamos y cambiemos esto", publicó. "Quédate alerta. #NeverAgain. "Había pensado en el nombre, más tarde me dijo," mientras estaba sentado en el inodoro en mi pijama Ghostbuster. "En las primeras entrevistas, Kasky había criticado al Partido Republicano, pero él y sus amigos habían decidido que el movimiento debería ser no partidista Seguramente todo el mundo, propietario de armas o pacifista, conservador o liberal, podría estar de acuerdo en que las masacres escolares deberían detenerse. El grupo se quedó despierto toda la noche creando cuentas en las redes sociales e intentando averiguar qué se necesitaba decir, "porque lo importante aquí no era hablar de sangre derramada", dijo Kasky el domingo. "Hablaba de cambio y hablaba de remembranza". Fue entonces cuando decidieron solicitar una verificación de antecedentes más exhaustiva. Como Alfonso Calderón, cofundador de Never Again, que estuvo allí esa noche, me dijo: "Nikolas Cruz, el tirador de mi escuela, fue denunciado a la policía treinta y nueve veces". Y añadió: "Tenemos que votar". personas que han sido pagadas por la NRA Están permitiendo que esto suceda. Están facilitando que personas como Nick Cruz adquieran un AR-15 ".

Lanzaron su nueva página de Facebook justo antes de la medianoche del 15 de febrero. "Gracias a todos los que han apoyado a nuestra comunidad y por favor recuerden mantener en sus mentes el recuerdo de las personas queridas que hemos perdido en sus mentes", escribió Kasky.
Mientras Kasky, Calderón y sus otros amigos se acurrucaban entre los envoltorios de bocadillos en una sala de guerra de la comunidad cerrada, otro estudiante estaba desarrollando un plan diferente. Jaclyn Corin es la presidenta de clase media de diecisiete años de Marjory Stoneman Douglas. Se despertó la mañana después del ataque para confirmar que su amigo desaparecido, Joaquín Oliver, estaba entre ellos.

About the process:
I increased the contrast by creating a B&W image with the channel mixer, in which I brightened the red level and darkened the blue. Then I overlaid the B&W on top of the original.

A recent addition to the typographic library is a slight volume of engraved reproductions of alphabets and pages of calligraphy by Hermann Zapf. I once owned a copy of this book, but in a moment of weakness traded it for one of Victor Hammer's books. I'm glad to have another copy; it's such a beautiful book.

I used to write letters to my family quite often after I moved away and they in turn would write back to me. What fun it was to go to the mailbox and find a letter full of news and a bit of what life was like in another place. So I began a letter for this challenge and think I will include it in my sister's Easter card, she will love it:)
Oh by the way this pencil is a bit of a treasure to me, we bought an antique train collection to resell some time ago and in the bottom of one of the boxes was this pencil along with notes an elderly gentleman had written about the various pieces in the collection.
I try to make every page interesting to look at, especially when my writing might not be the most interesting to read. I like to collect postmarks from the places I visit. A postmark timestamps my visit and it mentally captures the moment forever with a quick pound of the rubber stamp.
