Abstract

Following the horrific school shooting on February 14, 2018 in Parkland, Florida, a student-led movement erupted that led to massive marches around the globe. This speech was delivered by Sami Rahamim, a student in the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, at the March For Our Lives rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, on March 24, 2018 to an estimated crowd of 20,000 people.  Rahamim offers a partnership approach that is based on deep listening and mutual respect to address the gun violence crisis in America.
