Since the school shooting at Stoneman Douglas, this country hasbeen speaking out on gun violence, hoping to bring forth change.

Now, a few of the high school's students have a released a powerful song called "Shine," with proceeds going to benefit the school community.

"Shine" was written by two survivors of the tragic mass shooting, 16-year-old Sawyer Garrity and 15-year-old Andrea Peña, just days after that horrifying day.

Proceeds from download sales of "Shine" will be donated to the SHINE MSD Fund at the Broward Education Foundation, a non-profit organization, to support victims and their families via community mental health and arts programs.
