Jaclyn was a key planner of the March for Our Lives nationwide student protest that occurred on March 24 2018. She supported that adults register to vote and vote, and that children pre-register. Jaclyn discussed media coverage:
It’s fading a little, but not to the point people are forgetting … They know our message … It’s all leading up to the march … Media trucks aren’t lining our streets anymore, but people keep asking us for interviews. But we keep declining them. We don’t want to over-saturate the media. We don’t want people to get ‘Oh, I’m sick and tired of these kids. So annoying.’ And we also have school.

Jaclyn met with fellow students at Stoneman Douglas, including David Hogg, Emma González and Cameron Kasky, at Kasky’s house. They formed the Never Again MSD movement during these meetings. Originally it was a small core group of students, but subsequent meetings came to about twenty students. Jaclyn explained that their media strategy was to knock through the gun-safety defeatism, reframe the debate, and keep making noise with powerful demonstrations. The team acted quickly to take advantage of the news coverage.
Jaclyn was a key organizer of the bus trip protest to the Florida state capital on February 20 2018, six days after the shooting. A report in Vanity Fair suggested it was her idea to have the bus trip soon after the shooting because it was alive in the news cycle; she said “the news forgets — very quickly — we needed a critical mass event.” Working with fellow students-turned-activists Cameron Kasky and David Hogg, she recruited several hundred MSD students to make an eight-hour bus trip to Tallahassee as part of a “lightning strike”.
Jaclyn helped engineer the behind-the-scenes logistics including transportation, chaperone and sleeping arrangements, scheduling meetings with Florida lawmakers and getting permission slips from parents. She demanded the group wear normal school attire and not quibble about bus seating; when some asked for changes to sit with friends, she said “No — get on your bus.” The trip was organized largely by social media and texting.
