Lane Maxine Murdock (born 3 April 2002) is an activist and founder of The National School Walkout.
[5][6] Murdock and fellow RHS students then set about organizing their nationwide walk-out with Indivisible.
[1][7] The April 20 walkout organized by Murdock was set to last until the end of the school day, because the issue is one that needed to be ‘addressed [for] longer than 17 minutes’.
[4] This was said in reference to the March 14 walkout which lasted for 17 minutes to mark the 17 lives lost at the Marjory Stone High School shooting, with students returning to their classrooms soon after.
[6] Murdock moved to Scotland in 2020, where she studied public relations at Edinburgh Napier University.
