"My friends and I might still be...in elementary school, but...we know life isn't equal for everyone and we know what is right and wrong. We...stand in the shadow of the Capitol and we know that we have seven short years until we too have the right to vote.
So I am here today to honor the words of Toni Morrison. "If there's a book that you want to read but it hasn't been written yet, you must be the one to write it."

Naomi Wadler
Speaking before hundreds of thousands of people can be nerve-racking. But you'd never guess that watching Naomi Wadler. At age 11, she rose to national prominence as a leader in the 2018 March for Our Lives to end gun violence. She remembers becoming politically aware at age 5 when George Zimmerman fatally shot Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old African American high school student.
