Additional Information | Designed by illustrator Penelope Dullaghan in collaboration with Pincause, a non- partisan organization, We Call BS is inspired by Emma Gonzalez’s speech during a gun control rally in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Gonzalez’s speech was in response to the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Gonzalez attended Stoneman Douglas and survived the mass shooting. In her speech, Gonzalez spoke out against gun violence by responding to the lack of gun control action by politicians with the tagline “We call B.S.” |
