David Miles Hogg (born April 12, 2000) is an American gun control activist serving since 2025 as one of five vice chairs of the Democratic National Committee.[2] 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.[3][4][5][6] He has also been a target and scapegoat of several conspiracy theories.[7][8]

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.[9] They pledged to donate to charity all income from the book.[10]

In 2018, Hogg was included in the TIME 100 list of the most influential people.[11] He is a co-founder of Good Pillow, a pillow manufacturing company,[12] and the founder of the Leaders We Deserve PAC.[13]
