BIOGRAPHY

Born:November 11, 1999 (age 23 years), Florida, USANationality: American Education: Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and New College of Florida Occupation: Activist · student

Emma González was born to a cybersecurity attorney father and a mathematics-tutor mother in Parkland, Florida, on November 11, 1999. Their parents were immigrants from Cuba who came to New York City in 1968.

Emma González was a survivor of a mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas where 17 individuals were killed. On February 14, 2018 Nicholas Cruz entered the school with a rifle and activated the schools fire drill alarm. As soon as people entered the hallways, Nicholas started shooting killing innocent students and teachers. No one know why Nicholas killed those people that day. Some stated that he had mental issues and needed help. After killing 17 students and teachers, Nicholas blended in with the students and left the school but was later found by the police and taken into custody

If you do nothing to prevent this from continuing to happen, that number of victims shot will increase and their value will decrease. And we will all be worthless to you

#nEVERAGAIN

Hughes described González as “the terrible face of betrayal” and said she should “enjoy your little moment, which will come to an end”, in a series of social media messages that he later deleted. Other conservative media accused González and other Parkland students who participated in Time magazine’s April issue of “using a tragedy to get more attention” on social media.

González is part of the #NeverAgain (Never Again) movement, which calls for changes in gun sales legislation, such as raising the minimum age to buy guns, banning the sale of rifles, and improving buyers’ criminal background checks. One of the strongest attacks on the student was made by the lead singer of the rock band Eagles of Death Metal, Jesse Hughes, who survived the terrorist attack at the Bataclan club in Paris in 2015.
