This image relates to my quote because basically what it is saying is that if there are millions of people that needs to take action about a certain situation but they are too afraid to speak up, one person can step out to let their voice be heard and make a change in the world.

This image relates to my quote because it is about Emma Gonzalez standing up for what she believes in. She is speaking on behalf of the 17 students who got shot in Florida. She is standing up for herself and also others by taking action: making a change and doing what's right.

Since the Parkland school shooting, survivor Emma González has inspired people of all ages by raising her voice and advocating for gun control. Along with her classmates, she has helped organize March For Our Lives, a nationwide protest that will take place in just nine days! So, to prep for the major event, we've rounded up 11 of Emma's most empowering quotes:

On policies and legislation

1. "At the end of the day, we don't want people to have their guns taken away. We just want the people to be more responsible. We want civilians to have to go through more rolls of red tape to get what they want, because if any of that tape can stop those who shouldn't own a gun from owning a gun, then our government will have done something right."

2. "Teachers do not need to be armed with guns to protect their classes, they need to be armed with a solid education in order to teach their classes. That's the only thing that needs to be in their job description."

3. " We want increased mental health care for all those who need it-including the angry, frustrated men who almost always commit these crimes. Mental illness and gun violence are not directly correlated, but when the two go hand in hand, Americans-often children-lose their lives."

On making a change

4. "#InOurLifeTime we will fight for and alongside victims of gun violence, and we will prevail. Forget our kids, our Neighbors shouldn't have to worry about this."

5. "When we've had our say with the government - and maybe the adults have gotten used to saying 'it is what it is,' but if us students have learned anything, it's that if you don't study, you will fail. And in this case if you actively do nothing, people continually end up dead, so it's time to start doing something."

6. "So we are speaking up for those who don't have anyone listening to them, for those who can't talk about it just yet, and for those who will never speak again. We are grieving, we are furious, and we are using our words fiercely and desperately because that's the only thing standing between us and this happening again."

7. "We are going to be the kids you read about in textbooks. Not because we're going to be another statistic about mass shooting in America, but because, just as David said, we are going to be the last mass shooting. Just like Tinker v. Des Moines, we are going to change the law."

8. "As soon as David Hogg said it, I knew that this was something that was going to happen, and that we were going to be the people who were going to make that change. We were going to be the ones who sat down and talked about it and made sure that we were going to be the ones who were going out into Congress and telling them, this is our fight now because you messed it up so badly that you left it to the kids and now it's our job. You can't try to take that back from us."

On politicians who take money from the NRA

9. "We're trying to make sure those elected officials that are being supported by the NRA are not elected in the upcoming midterm elections. That is one of the strongest mission statements we have right now. We don't want these people in charge of us anymore. We were supposed to be in charge of them and now they're in charge of us and it's horrific."

10. "Happy Sunday! This isn't about Republicans v. Democrats :) Plenty of Republicans are openly with us and plenty of Democrats are openly against us. Any politicians being funded by the NRA and/or those voting against us every chance they get - on these people, we call BS."

11. "I want to say that this is our opportunity to talk to President Trump, Governor Rick Scott, and State Senator Marco Rubio to make sure that they know we are talking directly to them and all other members of the United States government that are being funded by the NRA to tell them now is the time to get on the right side of this."
