Parkland survivors and gun control advocates David Hogg and his sister, Lauren, have a book deal with Random House for a book set to be published in early June.
The book, “#NeverAgain,” takes an “in-depth look at the making of the #NeverAgain movement” in the aftermath of the shooting at the siblings’ school, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, that killed 17 people.
“This book is a manifesto for the movement begun that day, one that has already changed America—with voices of a new generation that are speaking truth to power, and are determined to succeed where their elders have failed,” the book’s description reads.
David Hogg announced on Twitter that the proceeds of the book would be donated back into the Parkland community.
Today @lauren_hoggs and I are announcing our book #NeverAgain that tells the story of the foundation of this movement for those we lost. Lauren and I will be using the money made from the book to help heal the community. #NeverAgain out June 5th https://t.co/Vh2gWVWNGq
