Tim McGraw Amplifies #NeverAgain Movement
Hears Marjory Stoneman Douglas Students’ Call for Change
When tragedies like the mass shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas
High, Sandy Hook Elementary and Route 91 Harvest Festival happen, the
country music community is always among the first emotional responders.
Last fall, so many country music benefit concerts were organized for
those affected by natural disasters and horrific violence nationwide;
they could almost be considered their own tour. And musicians are always
quick to express their sympathies and offer their support online.
But #ThoughtsAndPrayers and benefits only go so far to bring on the
real change that is needed to protect children in America’s schools.
One week after the deadly mass shooting in Florida, Tim McGraw
was among the millions of Americans watching as students rallied at the
Florida state capitol and Washington, D.C. demanding action on school
safety and gun control.
He called Scott Beigel, one of the teachers who died in the Stoneman
Douglas shooting, a “true hero,” and was deeply moved by the students’
demonstrations. He also revealed Beigel was a friend of one of his
associates.
On Wednesday (Feb. 21) during a listening session at the White House,
families affected by gun violence including shootings at Stoneman
Douglas, Columbine and Sandy Hook schools plead for action from
President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. Outside on
Pennsylvania Avenue and Capitol Hill, hundreds of students demonstrated
for their right to be able to go to school and feel protected.
