The scale of the protest is an amazing feat for a children\u2019s campaign that began just over a month ago. Their words and signs are powerful: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcphiladelphia.com\/news\/national-international\/Students-Walk-Out-in-Gun-Protests-476780063.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe adults have failed us. This is in our hands now, and if any elected official gets in our way, we will vote them out.\u201d<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/newswires\/news\/national\/latest-article-1.3873986\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cFix this before I text my mom from under a desk.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most memorable things about the horrible aftermath of the Parkland, Florida school massacre was the way in which <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/5164570\/emma-gonzalez-speech-parkland\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">surviving students took on the mantle of the hitherto not-so-successful gun control lobby<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. They used their celebrity to channel the pent-up outrage of a generation of students who have grown up with school shootings. It was their answer to the question of why this keeps happening. The answer came in the form of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Never_Again_MSD\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a hashtag and a movement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: #NeverAgain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All of a sudden it was the Parkland students morning, noon, and night. Even Donald Trump, that quintessential populist, seemed to sense the alteration in public opinion. Although he later backtracked, Trump <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/trump-tells-senators-youre-afraid-of-national-rifle-association\/4274949.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">briefly showed signs of a shift<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in his position on gun control legislation. He knows which way the wind is blowing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the past month the students have kept it up, gaining <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/entertainment\/ct-george-amal-clooney-donate-to-parkland-march-for-our-lives-20180220-story.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">allies and defenders<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. They presented opponents with a damned if you do, damned if you don\u2019t dilemma: pick on children, especially those who\u2019ve survived a massacre, and you look mean and petty. Stay silent, and you\u2019ve ceded them the stage. The NRA still hasn\u2019t found a way to counter <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZxD3o-9H1lY\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">their compelling narrative<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Will the Parkland students and the #NeverAgain movement be able to keep up the momentum? I think so. Whether noticing that protests are occurring in places where they never would have even a year ago, or seeing the revitalized <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news-leader.com\/story\/news\/local\/ozarks\/2018\/02\/23\/gun-sense-advocacy-group-sees-record-turnout-monthly-meeting\/367165002\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">turnout at gun control meetings across the country<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the message is inescapable. It will take many more years of hard work, and change will come slowly, but this is the tipping point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And here\u2019s how I know that: students in my very conservative home state of North Dakota <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westfargopioneer.com\/news\/government-and-politics\/4417493-f-m-students-take-part-national-walkout-marking-one-month\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">walked out of school today<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. And who defended their right to do that? None other than <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kfyrtv.com\/content\/news\/Miss-America-weighs-in-on-school-walkouts-476508073.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the current Miss America<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Cara Mund, who hails from Bismarck, North Dakota. It\u2019s one thing to participate in the school walkout if you live in Berkeley, California; Boston, Massachusetts; or Brooklyn, New York. Public sentiment in those places is strongly in favor of gun control. It\u2019s another thing entirely to walk out of school in a conservative place like North Dakota. It was also courageous of Miss Mund to endorse the right of North Dakota students to take a stand. She did not have to do this, but she bravely did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s not only the movement itself that deserves our respect; it\u2019s also the individuals who are making it happen. As the present campaign makes clear, sometimes the standard bearers can be as significant as the message. The intractable problem of gun violence in the US has many uniquely American causes. It makes sense that the solution would also come in uniquely American form. The #NeverAgain movement blends potent biblical symbolism <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Isaiah+11%3A6&amp;version=NKJV\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(\u201c..and a little child shall lead them\u201d)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and big-name celebrities. What could be more American than that?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does the idea that the NRA is invincible still hold in post-Parkland America? Not anymore, and for that we have children and Miss America to thank. It will be a long haul, but they\u2019ll prevail in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Elizabeth Loder<\/strong> is head of research, <\/em>The BMJ<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will the Parkland students and the #NeverAgain movement be able to keep up the momentum?
