MARCH FOR OUR LIVES Sat the 24th 817+ cities

Last edited Wed Mar 21, 2018, 10:52 PM - Edit history (1)

will be hosting marches/rallies. Only 75 were organized at this time a few days after the FL High School shootings one month ago. This will likely surpass the Women's March in numbers. This is a WORLD WIDE event now and it started with determined young people that had #ENOUGH! They are RESISTING!

Two weeks ago I learned that the 500,000 people planning to attend the March in DC at the Mall wouldn't be allowed to as they had planned since they didn't get their permit in before another event that was already scheduled had made arrangements for that place and date. I just saw on MSNBC (Lawrence) that the Cherry Blossom Festival was kind enough to move their event to Sunday, March 25th so the anti-gun violence protesters will be able to have their March For Our Lives after all. Here is the current map with info, places, times, maps, ideas, etc.
