GET MATT HIS SHAKE - OUR STORY
What does it take for a boy to make his dreams come true? I never thought I would have to ask myself this question. Yet when I was unable to order my very berry milkshake, I came to recognize that there is much in this world worth fighting for. I have borne witness to corporate greed at its finest. I have seen how little they care about the desires of their customers to enjoy chilled drinks. Today, we take a stand. This must end.
MY STORYIt was 2008. My mom took me out for what I hoped would be a simple lunch at a local burger joint. I never expected that it would change my life forever. Over the next nine years, I worked tirelessly to consume each individual milkshake in alphabetical order. With only three remaining (very berry, watermelon, and white chocolate raspberry), my dreams of a milkshake-fraught world were ripped from my hands. They refused to even consider making me one, even after all my years of patronizing. Today marks the beginning of the Revolution of 2018.

WHY WE FIGHTLike Gandhi, I too am starting a revolution. It will be one of peace, one of endless effort, and one which will not compromise under any circumstance. We will rally - as a school, as a community, as a country - for justice for Matt and his shakes.
