First inspired by Florida's Parkland shooting to get engaged in activism, Daphne Frias organized and fought for accessible transportation for her and her State University of New York College at Oswego classmates to attend the March For Our Lives protest. She succeeded in her efforts when 100 plus students from her campus received busing.
Daphne lives with Cerebral Palsy and invests her efforts in getting those with disabilities the outlets they need to participate in movements. In August of 2018, she was appointed as the NY State Director for March For Our Lives, and later won the campaign for County Committee Women in her district. She is also a founding member of the National Children's Campaign, which represents over 74 million children, and founder of Box the Ballot, a bipartisan initiative to ensure the voices of Americans are heard despite not being able to vote in person.
