Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Florida Students Walk Out to Protest Teens Killed by Gun Violence in Liberty City

HeadlineApr 10, 2018

In Florida, students at Miami Northwestern Senior High School held a walkout on Monday to protest gun violence and to mourn the deaths of a current and former student killed in a shooting in Liberty City over the weekend. Seventeen-year-old Kimson Green and 18-year-old Rickey Dixon were both killed. Two others were wounded. Liberty City is about 40 miles south of Parkland, Florida, the site of the Valentine’s Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which killed 17 people—14 students and three faculty.
