Ep. 170 - Parkland School Shooting Survivor Alexa Kitaygorodsky Fights for Safety in Schools
Alexa Kitaygorodsky sensed something was off as she entered her Spanish class at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine’s Day 2018. Minutes later, the sound of gunfire echoed down the halls, followed by screaming students and the harrowing voice of a 19-year-old gunman, demanding to be let inside the classroom where Alexa was hiding. Alexa barely survived a terrifying school shooting that day - but 17 of her classmates did not. Today, Alexa discusses the important work that the nonprofit initiative, Make Our Schools Safe, is doing to secure educational settings against potential violence. She also discusses the importance of getting involved in the civic process to support legislation that tightens school safety and security.
