The father of a teen boy who was shot and killed at his school in Parkland, Florida, in a mass killing four years ago that left 17 dead, climbed a downtown D.C. construction crane in protest on Monday.
Manuel and Patricia Oliver founded an organization calledwhich they say"uses urban art and nonviolent creative confrontation" to expose the effects of mass shootings.
The family of Joaquin Oliver, a student killed in the Parkland shooting two years ago, held a vigil for the massacred students and protest for stricter gun control on the National Mall Friday. Two years ago, the family marked two years since the shooting by visiting the National Mall, where they held a vigil for the massacred students and demonstrated for stricter gun laws. The family also joined a group holding mock newspapers displaying articles about mass shootings that occurred after Parkland.
"Some people might be wondering that we're here," Manuel Oliver told News4 at that demonstration on Feb. 14, 2020."'Oh, they should be home, praying and crying and feeling bad.' I want to make sure that you don't have to be sorry about us. You have to be sorry about yourself if you're not doing something. We are here because we think that we can save other lives.
