March for Our Lives is a student-led response to gun violence and mass shootings, particularly the shooting that happened at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. 17 people died on February 14th when a gunman opened fire during the school day. The movement hopes to implement gun control legislation and put an end to the gun violence in America.
