Ryan Deitsch is an American student activist against gun violence, and a survivor of the Parkland massacre. He is a founding member of the Never Again MSD movement.
Deitsch filmed the active Stoneman Douglas High School massacre from inside the school, which occurred on his senior year there, and was saved as he hid with other students in a closet during the event.[1] Deitsch has criticized the media for sensationalizing shooters, and has encouraged supporters to be a part of protests and marches.[2] On February 21, 2018 he was a part of a CNN town hall with lawmakers, asking senator Marco Rubio the question, "Why do we have to march ... to save innocent lives?"[3][4] Deitsch was featured in a Harvard Political Review interview, along with Cameron Kasky, and David Hogg.[5]
