“I’m marching as a survivor of a gun crime to demand that Congress passes the bill to ban assault weapons, to support the students in Parkland, to honor the victims and survivors of gun violence, and to show the NRA how many people value lives over money.”

A staffer at @EagleEyeMSD, Stoneman Douglas High's student publication, films the massive #MarchForOurLives crowd from the @Newseum:
Lauren Milgram, 12, who has been a mass shooting survivor for nearly half of her life, will be marching today: "We can't keep living like this." cnn.com/2018/03/23/us/…

Teenager from South L.A. who lost her brother to gun violence, at #MarchForOurLives: "I've been dodging bullets since before I learned to read...It is normal to see candles honoring the lives of black and brown youth."
Alex Wind, Stoneman Douglas survivor at #MarchForOurLives: “If teachers start packing heat, are they going to arm our pastors, ministers, and rabbis? The guy scanning tickets at the movie theater? The person wearing the Mickey Mouse costume at Disney? This is what the NRA wants.”
Veterans For Gun Reform released a video in support of today’s march that calls for a ban on assault-style weapons: “There is no reason why anyone other military and law enforcement should have an assault weapon like this.” wepresent.wetransfer.com/story/veterans…
Parkland survivor @davidhogg111 at #MarchForOurLives: "I’m gonna start off by putting this price tag right here as a reminder for you guys to know how much Marco Rubio took for every student’s life in Florida: $1.05."
At least 1,300 people have been shot to death in the U.S. since the Parkland massacre. For each day this month, we’ve been sharing some of their stories. More from our #MarchForOurLives live blog: thetrace.org/2018/03/march-…
One big, hidden way that teen gun violence activists could change politics as usual is by changing the minds of their parents, not just lawmakers, says an expert who has been studying the gun debate for 20 years. thetrace.org/2018/03/march-…
Today's #MarchForOurLives is remarkable, but not unprecedented: In 2000, the Million Mom March drew 750,000 people to D.C. Its organizer says the Parkland kids "can change the makeup of Congress” if they continue to focus on the power of electoral change. thetrace.org/2018/03/march-…
Christopher Underwood, 11, at #MarchForOurLives: “For me, I would like to not worry about dying, and focus on math and science and playing basketball with my friends. Don’t I deserve to grow up?”
Martin Luther King Jr.'s granddaughter at #MarchForOurLives: "My grandfather had a dream that his four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream that enough is enough!"
Families affected by the 1996 massacre at a primary school in Dunblane, Scotland, that killed 17 people joined #MarchForOurLives in Edinburgh. A woman whose sister died in the shooting told American gun reformers: "Don't lose faith. Your change is coming." buzzfeed.com/buzzfeednews/m…
Parkland survivor: "I'm not only here to speak about school shootings. I'm here to speak for the urban communities that have been speaking out about this way before February 14, 2018. Their voices are just as important as ours and they need to be heard."
Parkland survivor at #MarchForOurLives: "Our mission is simple: Let's keep the guns out of the hands of the wrong people and keep them in the hands of the sane and reasonable. You can join us, or be on the side of history that prioritizes their guns over the lives of others."

"I represent the African-American women who are victims of gun violence. For far too long, these black girls and women have been just numbers. I am here to say never again for those girls too." —Naomi Wadler, 11, at #MarchForOurLives in D.C. usatoday.com/story/news/nat…
