Kestrel Coffee, a 19 year old college student from Falls Church, VA, takes part in the March for Our Lives Rally on Saturday, March 24, 2018 in Washington, DC. She had this to say, “I’m a student. You know, I’m a college student, but I’m a student. It breaks my heart every single time. I want to be an educator, and I want to be an influencer and I feel like there’s no way we can change the world unless we all come together and work hard at it. I mean, this is the only way to get things done. And, you know, I feel absolutely honored to be able to take part. And as a young person I feel like it’s so easy to be overlooked but no more.
