The teen survivors of the Valentine's Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are taking their "March for Our Lives" movement to the polls — and created a dedicated "war room" where they are phone banking on Election Day to get out the vote.
In a thread from inside the Parkland "war room," BuzzFeed News' Remy Smidt documented the Election Day campaigning undertaken by the teen activists.
Responding to Internet connection issues, survivor Alex Wind reportedly began calling his friends who are over 18 to make sure they voted.
"I am so happy for you,” Wind told his friend who was at a polling place when he called. “You feel energized and powerful?”
The Parkland teens reportedly have call lists of people aged 18-21 that were provided to them by the NAACP, Smidt reported.
A 17-year-old March for Our Lives cofounder named Kirsten "called someone who used to bully her in middle school, to tell her to vote," the BuzzFeed reporter tweeted.
David Hogg, another of the movement's co-founders who's been regularly targeted by right-wingers, expressed a belief that the teens will "win" and said he was going to canvass his own neighborhood to make sure his neighbors voted, Smidt added.
