with the future leaders of America! Today's Marches are created, inspired, & led by students across the country. The national leaders are survivors of the Parkland, Florida Valentine's Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School- Emma Gonzalez, Cameron Kaskey, David Hogg, Jaclyn Corin, Alex Wind and others.
Here are some issues and information about #MarchForOurLives.
The epicenter is the DC March where 500,000 are expected to turn out.
There are expected to be more than 800 marches worldwide.
This is a non-partisan March to stop gun violence, to stop the NRA, to return America to the sane understanding of the 2nd Amendment that prevailed for much of our history.
Before District of Columbia v.Heller in 2008, there were no rights of individuals to bear arms. The second amendment was about the right of militias. Today, 22% of Americans own guns. 3% of them own half the guns.
This is what the Parkland kids support.
The most accurate information about the March is available on the app “march for our lives 2018" which you can download on your phone or tablet. It is downloadable from the App Store and from MarchforOurLives.com.
Oh, and one last word from our Sponsor.
Even if you have never marched before, Today is the day not to abstain from history.
As David Hogg said, “We will outlive the NRA."
See you at THE MARCH, in your town or city or in mine.
Today is the day.
