Modern Day Muckraker- Emma Gonzalez
Emma Gonzalez
I chose Emma Gonzalez as my Modern Muckraker because she speaks for an issue that effects me closely. She is one of the surviving victims of the Parkland Shooting who speaks for Gun Control and Gun Safety. Gonzalez is using her voice and real life experiences to convey how important Gun Safety is. She has already had impact on multiple big corporations like Wal-Mart and Dick's Sporting Goods by having them raise their age to buy a gun to 21. She and other survivors are putting together rallies called March for Our Lives and gaining social media attention by newscasts and hashtags like #neveragain and #wecallbs. I think the reason she has made so much change opposed to other adults in the past is because she has lived through it and other teens are speaking out because it directly effects us.
