[3] On March 14, 2018, Wadler helped organize a walkout of 200 classmates at George Mason Elementary School.

[6] She talked about why she pushed for the walkout[7] and said that there's a disproportionate number of black female victims of gun violence in the United States.

[2] Wadler was initially worried that discussing black female victims would be considered "off topic", but felt comfortable after finding out about "other students from all over would speak from their experiences".

Wadler asserted that the perpetrator had been offered a bail, which was revoked after additional criminal charges, because he was white.

"[11] She was named one of Teen Vogue's "21 Under 21"[12] and shared a New York Magazine cover with actress Barbra Streisand.
