‘#NeverAgain: A New Generation Draws the Line’ by David Hogg and Lauren Hogg


5 stars - Excellent book, glad the Hogg siblings shared what they went through.

In ‘#NeverAgain,’ Hogg siblings David and Lauren provide insight into their lives; some background about their childhoods and the types of classes they took in Florida’s public-school system that led them to be the informed and knowledgeable people they are today.

Each of the authors also detail what it was like for them, and their friends, during the February 14, 2018 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. They share their reactions and describe how they came together with fellow students in the aftermath to start a movement: A March For Our Lives.

The book closes with a long, carefully detailed list of all school shootings thus far, starting with Columbine High School in April of 1999. This well-researched chapter includes the names and ages of all victims, and something personal about each of them, to help us remember them.

Though the Hogg siblings outline a 10-point common sense strategy for gun ownership to coexist with human safety, this book is not political in nature. It is a social issues book, relevant to all Americans who value human lives.

All proceeds from the sale of this book go to charities such as @ChangeTheRef @AMarch4OurLives @strong_chicago
