The March 24 “March for Our Lives” will take place in Washington, Atlanta and in cities across the country. It is spearheaded by Parkland, Fla. students who survived the Feb. 14 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting, and the march has received national attention and celebrity donations from George and Amal Clooney and Oprah.
Local high school and college students are lending their voices to the chorus of young people calling for sensible gun control measures. Students, teachers, parents and allies around the nation are preparing to “march for their lives” next month to rally for increased gun control and school safety measures.
Less than a week ago, the students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida experienced tragedy. Seventeen people? — ?classmates and teachers? — ?were allegedly killed by 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz. Cruz was armed with an AR-15 rifle that he had legally purchased, authorities said.
But rather than wait for lawmakers to make a change, the survivors of the shooting are taking matters into their own hands? — ?organizing, and taking action. From their parents’ living rooms, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students are planning a march on Washington, D.C. called March for Our Lives.
