An estimated 800,000 people attend the first ever March for Our Lives protest rally in Washington, DC. The march was created, inspired and led by students across the US who have demanded that "not one more" child be murdered by school gun violence.
Men, women, and children crowded the stretch of Pennsylvania Ave in DC, listening to speakers such as Yolanda King, granddaughter of Martin Luther King Jr., and Emma Gonzalez, a survivor of the Parkland, FL school shooting which happened only six weeks prior to the March.
Across the country, there were 800 sibling marches, in cities like Los Angeles, Houston, and Boston. Even abroad, people rallied in Madrid, Tokyo, and Copenhagen to share their support with those in the US demanding stricter gun laws and an end to the senseless violence of school shootings.
