Crowd March On Washington To Demand Better Gun Control Measures

Published

Hundreds of thousands of kids and adults alike have marched on Washington D.C., demanding gun control in the wake of the Parkland massacre.

Parkland, FL students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are spearheading the charge at the March for Our Lives rally, and they’re being joined by an estimated half-a-mil others in D.C. as well as millions more in rallies across the country … sending a message to ban assault rifles along with other sensible gun control measures.

Emma Gonzalez just closed it off with a poignant moment by standing silent on stage for 6 minutes and 20 seconds — the time it took the Florida shooter to kill 17 people at her school.

Event organizers got a permit for 500,000 people for the D.C. rally, and it appears they got to that number easily.

Some big musical acts — including Miley Cyrus, Common, Demi Lovato, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson — will perform at the D.C. rally, but only students will deliver messages. All the students reportedly have some connection to gun violence.
