Take a look at powerful moments from the movement protesting gun violence, led by young adults, that has spread throughout the world.
"Now we fight for our lives."
That is the call to action urged by the March For Our Lives website following a rally that drew hundreds of thousands to Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., this Saturday to protest gun violence. Sister marches took place not only across the country, but around the world—adding up to 846 events globally, with one even held in Antarctica.
No matter the location, the unifying message of these protests was clear: Enough is enough. Many of those who carried signs or spoke at the rally demanded tougher gun-control laws, including banning the sale of assault weapons and closing loopholes on background checks.
It has taken only 38 days for the surviving students of the shooting at Marjory
