Nickelodeon halted its regularly scheduled programming for 17 minutes to honor the 17 students and faculty members killed one month ago in Parkland, Florida.
From 10 a.m. until 10:17 a.m. Nickelodeon broadcasted one simple message. The screen read:
"In support of kids leading the way today, Nickelodeon will be off the air until 17 minutes past the hour."

This is an important movement and it needs to be recognized. Oh Lord how long have we waited for this?
The NRA is going down in flames.
How many kids must lose their lives for this madness?

Gathered on their football field and remained silent for 17 minutes. Just imagine this. It brings tears to my eyes as I write this.
There is hope and we have been looking in the wrong direction for too long.
Listen to these kids, encourage them, support them and show them that EVERY VOTE COUNTS!!
