WHICH CITY IS THIS? BOSTON. DAVID HOGG IS IN BOSTON RIGHT NOW.
HE ARRIVED THIS MORNING TO HOST A CONVERSATION AT the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, his alma mater. Now he's in an Uber, heading to catch a flight to Washington, D.C., where he lives or at least where he has an apartment with a bed he sleeps in about five times a month. Hogg graduated a year ago, and that August he cofounded Leaders We Deserve, a political action committee (PAC) helping elect young progressives to office. It's only two weeks into April, and already this month he's traveled to Austin, Houston, Atlanta, and Orlando, meeting with candidates backed by his organization. Next week, after overseeing the move into Leaders We Deserve's new 4,800-square-foot office in D.C.'s Chinatown neighborhood, he'll be off to Seattle.
In the months that followed, Hogg, along with several of his surviving classmates, including his little sister, who lost four friends during the rampage, became the public faces of a reinvigorated national movement to fight gun violence. He took a gap year after high school to co-launch March for Our Lives, a student-led nonprofit that organizes protest marches on state capitols nationwide and lobbies governments at all levels to pass commonsense gun control legislation. It now has 17 full-time employees. (Hogg remains on its board.) But as the years passed, the rest of his Parkland classmates got on with their lives, while Hogg threw himself even deeper into activism. He enrolled at Harvard, and unlike most bewildered college freshmen, he seemed to have a clear plan about what he needed to do with his time in college, seeking out professors who could school him in the history of movement politics especially conservative movements-so he could understand why he and his fellow progressives keep getting their butts kicked.
