Parkland school survivors announce upcoming book: '#NEVERAGAIN'

In the wake of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, in February, several student survivors have become leading voices in the movement for gun control. Their advocacy has had an unprecedented effect on the national conversation. Through grassroots activism, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students have helped raise young people's voices all over the country. Planning events ranging from school walkouts to the massive #FightForOurLives march, they've mobilized people everywhere to join the fight in demanding more sensible gun control.

Now two of the students-turned-activists, siblings David and Lauren Hogg, have announced an upcoming book. It's titled #NEVERAGAIN: A New Generation Draws the Line, and it will be released by Random House on June 5.

David wrote on Twitter that the book, "tells the story of the foundation of this movement for those we lost." Lauren added that it will be about "how we turned our grief into action and how we fight and speak out for those who no longer can."

All proceeds will be donated to organizations helping to heal the Parkland community, as well as charities tackling the national issue of gun violence, like Everytown for Gun Safety.

Aside from telling the story of the Parkland shooting that left 17 dead, the book will focus on legislative solutions to prevent more gun violence. Random House describes the work as "a manifesto for the movement begun [the day of the Parkland shooting], one that has already changed America — with voices of a new generation that are speaking truth to power, and are determined to succeed where their elders have failed."

In a statement from the press release, David Hogg said:

In times of struggle and tragedy, we can come together in love and compassion for each other. We can see each other not as political symbols, but as human beings. And then, of course, there will be times when we simply must fight for what is right.

You can pre-order the book for $10 prior to its June 5 release here.
