DETROIT (WXYZ) — Columbine, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, Oxford and Robb Elementary are just a few names among the hundreds of the nation’s schools who are now synonymous with tragic school shootings.
In response to the increase in gun violence that continues to plague the country, along with slow legislative and school district response, students from communities throughout metro Detroit will make their voices heard Saturday as they join together in protest at rallies organized by March for Our Lives.
The student-led effort, “born out of a tragic school shooting,” March For Our Lives is “dedicated to promoting civic engagement, education, and direct action by youth to eliminate the epidemic of gun violence.”
Through the work of the organization, students hope to create safe, healthy communities and schools where gun violence is obsolete.
