They joined him just a year and a week after the attack that left 14 students and three staff members dead.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Hogg, founder of the <a href=\"https:\/\/marchforourlives.com\/\">March for Our Lives Movement<\/a>, told the crowd at Beth Emet Synagogue that \u201cthe enemy of this issue cannot be Democrats or Republicans \u2013 it must be gun violence. As Americans, we must come together and work together \u2026 with the understanding that no community goes unaffected by gun violence in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mollie Hartenstein, an Evanston Township High School student, and Lamar Johnson, student violence prevention coordinator of BRAVE youth leaders at Saint Sabina Parish in Chicago, joined Hogg on the panel calling for gun violence research, universal background checks and the disarmament of domestic abusers.<\/p>\n<p>Other gun violence prevention measures included funding intervention and safe storage. The panel was moderated by Nina Vinik, director of gun violence prevention and justice reform program at The Joyce Foundation in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Hogg covered political leadership, the National Rifle Association, &#8220;toxic masculinity&#8221; and mental health in his remarks about the causes of violence. Vinik\u2019s questions to the panel focused on the youth perspective for gun reform.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76701\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76701\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-76701\" src=\"https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Hartenstein2-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Hartenstein2-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Hartenstein2-768x982.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Hartenstein2-801x1024.jpg 801w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Hartenstein2.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76701\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mollie Hartenstein, a student at ETHS, speaks to a crowd about gun violence prevention.
