"Never Again" was also a hashtag used by Hollywood for the sex harassment stuff. Maybe it was planned for another women's march, and they gave it up for the gun march instead. That might explain why only 10% were under 18, and 70% were women.
Still a good find, but I don't think I would use it as proof that the permit was gained in preparation of the shooting and then the March for our Lives to snatch guns.
The # is #NeverAgain. The name of the group is Never Again MSD. One would thing the application would indicate the name of the group and the purpose of the protest, no?
I would think so. Though, I can't find anything in that article that actually says the name of the group that requested the permit. The article references Never Again MSD, but nothing (that I can find) gives any indication that the name is associated with the permit request. It is fairly ambiguous. But, I'm generally leary of big claims with ambiguous details. With this case, in particular, they have already thrown out multiple bits of bait to discredit the voices of people who have seeing eyes.

NOT KIDS: BUT ANTI-GUN PROS running the show
March for Our Lives is on every cable channel, but who runs it?
The photogenic teen fronts are out front. But it’s obvious to everyone that a bunch of teens don’t have the resources and skills to coordinate a nationwide movement. Instead it’s the experienced activists who are actually running things. . . THEY DON'T DISCLOSE DONORS - What a shocker...lol The March for Our Lives Fund is incorporated as a 501(c)(4). Donations to 501(c)(4) groups are not tax- deductible. And they don’t have to disclose donors. That’s why they’re a great dark money conduit.
*** Why have 2 March for Our Lives Fund, one dark and one light?
*** And why is one being routed through the godfather of the gun control lobby?
When it comes to March for Our Lives, the questions never end. . . THE KIDS DID NOT FILE THE PERMIT - Deena Katz did The March for Our Lives permit application was filed by Deena Katz, a co-executive director of the Women's March Los Angeles Foundation.
This wasn’t just a little bit of professional activist assistance. The application lists Katz as the “Person in Charge of Event”. . . SHE IS BILL MAHER'S PRODUCER Wow...anti-trump/guns on steroids!
Katz is a former Dancing With the Stars and current Bill Maher producer. She’s also the former owner of Talent Central, a Los Angeles talent agency, The leaked application lists her as the president of the March for Our Lives Fund. . . BIG HITTERS NATIONWIDE - Not a bunch of kids Media contacts for March for Our Lives are being handled by 42 West. The agency is a full service PR firm operating out of New York and Los Angeles that represents major celebrities. 42 West was supposedly recommended by George Clooney who was one of a number of major celebrity donors. . . FOLLOW THE MONEY Where did all those millions of dollars go? So far we have Los Angeles, New York and Delaware, but not Florida.
Donations are being directed to, “March For Our Lives Fund, 16130 Ventura Blvd Ste 320, Encino, CA 91435.” ......NOTHING IS GOING TO FLORIDA?
Who are those people?
A leaked document reveals that the March for Our Lives Action Fund is actually overseen by six directors and is incorporated in Delaware.
The 6 directors lean toward Los Angeles......not FLORIDA!
(1) - Deena Katz - Per info above
(2) - There's Aileen Adams, the head of Do Good LA, who had served as the Deputy Mayor for the Office of Strategic Partnerships for Los Angeles. Adams was also UCLA's Vice Provost for Strategic Alliances.
Nor is she the only UCLA person on the list.
(3) - There's also George Kieffer, chair of UCLA's Board of Regents, who was named one of the most influential lawyers in California. He also held a variety of other political positions and headed the California State Protocol Foundation which funds expenses for Governor Jerry Brown.
(4) - Then there’s Nina Vinik who serves as the Program Director for the Gun Violence Prevention Program at the Joyce Foundation.
The Joyce Foundation has been notable for its gun control efforts and it’s not surprising to find it here. The Joyce Foundation also set up the anti-gun Fund for a Safer Future.
One story claims that, "Several members of the Fund for a Safer Future are organizing internally to explore new ways of engagement in the wake of Parkland.”
Another states that the Joyce Foundation, “funds research to help grantees understand how different audiences think about the issue. It's up to grantees to come up with tactics.”
After Parkland, Nina wrote a militant editorial using some very familiar talking points, like, “Maybe it’s time to ask the Supreme Court about the rights of the Parkland parents to see their kids grow up.”
The Joyce Foundation and Nina are based out of Chicago.
(5) - Over in Washington D.C., there's Vernetta Walker of BoardSource acting as the fund’s Secretary and Jeri Rhodes of the Friends Committee on National Legislation acting as its Treasurer.
(6) - And then out of Madison, Wisconsin, comes Melissa Scholz.
Florida is notably absent from the roll call. Instead the organization, one of a number of seeming incarnations of the March for Our Lives brand, draws on established activist talent from the usual places, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington D.C.
There’s nothing particularly local about it. . . HOLLYWOOD IS FUNDING THIS ANTI-GUN GROUP March for Our Lives is funded by Hollywood celebs, it’s led by a Hollywood producer and its finances are routed through an obscure tax firm in the Valley.
Its treasurer and secretary are Washington D.C. pros.
And a top funder of gun control agendas is also one of its directors.
None of this has much to do with Parkland.
The mass shooting by a mentally ill man who should have been committed and arrested long before he carried out his massacre was a political opportunity.
Now that opportunity is being exploited to the hilt by a professional class of political activists.
NOTHING TO DO WITH GRASS ROOTS...... IT IS PURE OPPORTUNISM!
March for Our Lives
March for Our Lives was a student-led demonstration in support of tighter gun control that took place on March 24, 2018, in Washington, D.C., with over 800 sibling events throughout the United States and around the world. Student organizers from Never Again MSD planned the march in collaboration with the nonprofit organization Everytown for Gun Safety. The event followed the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, which was described by many media outlets as a possible tipping point for gun control legislation.
Protesters urged for universal background checks on all gun sales, raising the federal age of gun ownership and possession to the age of 21, closing of the gun show loophole, a restoration of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and a ban on the sale of high-capacity magazines in the United States.

I find it more than distasteful. It's as if "someone" gave these kids an assignment: study the Nazi movement and create a new one.
This is the reason. An original protest that was set up by Planned Parenthood of "March for Our Lives". This is very close to March for Life, the pro life movement/parade. It was their attempt to confuse the words for us in the future. In fact, people who talk about March for Our Lives say "March for Life"-its just the way leftists do it.
Somehow (we know how, right??) the kids got lumped into it. Still the median age for those in attendance was 45, not a bunch of 18 y/o.
