HOW IT STARTED:

Lane Murdock was born in 2002 in Texas. When she was four years old she moved to Ridgefield, Connecticut. She attends Ridgefield High School. The school is a 20-minute drive from Sandy Hook Elementary School, the site of the 2012 massacre in which 20 children and 6 staff members died.

HOW IT’S GOING:

After the shooting in Parkland, Murdock placed a petition to change.org asking people to protest the lack of responses that follow school shootings in America by participating in a walkout. The petition accumulated over 270,000 signatures. Murdock and fellow RHS students then set about organizing their nationwide walk-out with Indivisible.

QUOTE:

“That America’s children are growing up in fear is something we’re not talking about,” said Lane, who recently turned 16. “No child should have to learn how to hide from a shooter.”
