From Washington D.C. and New York City to Spain and Tokyo, millions of people are participating in “March For Our Lives” demonstrations on Saturday, standing up to the NRA and demanding action on to curb gun violence in the United States.
It’s a massive demonstration of solidarity with the survivors of the Parkland school shooting, which took 17 lives last month. The world is joining together in one voice to say enough is enough.
Washington D.C.:

This is just a small snapshot of the more than 800 demonstrations that took place as part of the “March For Our Lives” event that was organized in the span of just over a month by Parkland survivors.
