Political Activism
On March 14, Wadler helped organize a walkout of 60 fellow classmates at George Manson Elementary School.
On Saturday March 24, 2018, she energized a crowd of thousands at the March For Our Lives protest in Washington, D.C. She talked about why she pushed for the walkout, and had the protest last 18 minutes instead of 17 minutes like those at other schools were doing for the 17 victims of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
