X González is a prominent American activist and orator, born on November eleventh, nineteen ninety-nine. They emerged as a powerful voice for gun control following the tragic Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018, which marked the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history. Surviving this harrowing event, González channeled their experience into advocacy, co-founding the gun-control group Never Again MSD.
González gained national attention with a compelling speech that resonated with many, famously declaring, 'We call B.S.' in response to the inaction of politicians influenced by the NRA. This moment not only highlighted the urgent need for change but also solidified González's role as a leading figure in the fight against gun violence.
Continuing their activism, González played a significant role in organizing the March for Our Lives, a movement aimed at raising awareness and pushing for legislative reforms. During the demonstration, they led a poignant moment of silence for the victims of the shooting, standing on stage for six minutes—the duration of the tragic event itself.
In recognition of their impactful work, González was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2018, underscoring their influence and commitment to advocating for a safer future.
