David Miles Hogg (born April 12, 2000) is an American gun control activist. He rose to prominence during the 2018 United States gun violence protests as a student survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, helping lead several high-profile protests, marches, and boycotts, including the boycott of The Ingraham Angle.[2][3][4][5] He has also been a target and scapegoat of several conspiracy theories.[6][7]

With his sister Lauren Hogg, he wrote #NeverAgain: A New Generation Draws the Line, a book that made The New York Times Best Seller list.[8] They pledged to donate to charity all income from the book.[9]

Hogg was included in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2018.[10] He is a co-founder of Good Pillow, a pillow manufacturing company,[11] and the founder of the Leaders We Deserve PAC.[12]
