"We Know Way More Than People Think We Know:" Teen Activists Prepare to Lead March in Cortez

Student activists are preparing to lead a "March for our Lives" on Saturday. Similar marches are being held across the country, intended to protest gun violence and promote safer schools. KSJD's Austin Cope spoke with one of the march organizers, a 15-year-old student at Dolores High School.

Austin Cope is a former Morning Edition host for KSJD and now produces work on a freelance basis for the station. He grew up in Cortez and hosted a show on KSJD when he was 10 years old. After graduating from Montezuma-Cortez High School in 2010, he lived in Belgium, Ohio, Spain, northern Wyoming, and Himachal Pradesh, India before returning to the Cortez area. He has a degree in Politics from Oberlin College in Ohio.
