March For Our Lives: Road to Change // LAST STOP: NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT // THERE ARE DAYS of loss so defined in our history we remember exactly where we were when we heard the news. Our memory divides the moment into “before” and “after.” Reading the Marjory Stoneham Douglas High School daily announcement for Wednesday, February 14, 2018, we’re reminded of a routine day in high school. Before a former student killed seventeen students and staff members, injuring seventeen others. >> PHOTOS BY DEBBIE REHR ,

THAT DAY, a community was shattered and families destroyed. It’s all too familiar to the families of Newtown, CT, in our own backyard, and a list that goes on and on. The teenagers of Marjory Stoneham Douglas High School lost 17 friends, siblings and teachers on Valentine’s Day. Yet, their remarkable spirit turned tragedy into an organized national movement and march just weeks after the shooting.
