**Hunter Pollack** (born August 6, 1997) is an American lawyer, political advisor, and school safety activist, whose younger sister, Meadow, was murdered in the [Stoneman Douglas High School shooting](/source/Stoneman_Douglas_High_School_shooting) in 2018.[1] He is the son of Shara Kaplan and [Andrew Pollack](/source/Andrew_Pollack). [2] Hunter is Jewish.[3]

## Activism and politics

Hunter was invited to a White House listening session a week after the Stoneman Douglas shooting that was hosted by President [Donald Trump](/source/Donald_Trump), where his father expressed the need for increased safety measures in schools rather than focusing on gun control.[4] Pollack was said to influence the passing of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Safety Act ([Florida Senate Bill: 7026](/source/Florida_Senate_Bill_7026)), has met personally with [President Trump](/source/Donald_Trump) and [Vice President Pence](/source/Mike_Pence), and Governor [Rick Scott](/source/Rick_Scott).

Along with his father, Hunter served as an adviser on [Florida Governor](/source/Florida_Governor) [Ron DeSantis](/source/Ron_DeSantis)' Transition Advisory Committee on Public Safety.[5]

## March for Our Lives event controversy

Pollack said he was prevented from reading a speech at the [March for Our Lives](/source/March_for_Our_Lives) event after being misled by event officials. [David Hogg](/source/David_Hogg) tweeted a video of Hunter reading his speech at the Ride for Meadow event, and blamed the omission on a logistical issue. [Ryan Deitsch](/source/Ryan_Deitsch) denied any political reason for the omission and stated that Hunter decided not to attend the march, which Hunter disputes.[6] Key organizers in the march were criticized for not including other points of view.[7]
