In the wake of Florida’s worst school shooting, teenagers have turned their grief into hope, organizing protests at high schools and planning a nationwide march against gun violence scheduled for next month in Washington.

Now, a group of about 15 Broward County teens is planning a benefit concert to help the Marjory Stoneman Douglas community heal and to keep alive a rekindled debate over gun control.

Emilie Smith, an 18-year-old senior at North Broward Preparatory School, said she and her friends — including Stoneman Douglas students and alumni — began organizing the concert on Thursday and have been in talks with representatives for pop singers like Dua Lipa and Camila Cabello. They’re raising money on a GoFundMe page.

Smith announced her plans Friday morning through a post on Twitter that has amassed more than 5,000 “retweets” and 14,000 “likes.” As of Friday, the group’s GoFundMe has raised a little over $1,000.
