How to join the March for Our Lives protests at these 14 locations across Washington state
Many are calling for a change in gun laws and restrictions through nationwide protests this weekend.
March For Our Lives is a youth-led movement that was created after the 2018 Florida school shooting that is “dedicated to promoting civic engagement, education, and direct action by youth to eliminate the epidemic of gun violence,” the organization’s website states.
The movement had its first march in 2018, but is now hosting another march Saturday, June 11, in Washington D.C. and over 300 locations nationwide.
