Undergrad to speak at Democratic National Convention | Cornell Chronicle
Briefly

"I'll be talking about how guns really changed my story. I was just a few feet away when a gun went off and shot a classmate, and it was very traumatic. When that happened, a light bulb went off for me, and I started coming out against gun violence."
"This stuff is happening to thousands of people. Every week, every month there's a school shooting. I'm here to advocate for the change that's needed in this country so stories like mine don't occur again."
"Already in my first year, I've found a lot of passion for politics. I was inspired by the course Inside Elections, taught by Steve Israel, former congressman and director of the Brooks School's Institute of Politics."
