Protesters from all ages packed the streets of Savannah to march against gun violence. The march started in Wright Square and ended at Forsyth Park. The protest was organized by Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) students, Devyn Bauer and Kylie Ruffino. SCAD was not affiliated with the march. “We’re here because there have been too many tragedies where too many lives have been lost,” Kylie Ruffino told The Savannah Tribune.
In D.C thousands of protesters filled the streets of the nation’s capital. “My generation has spent our entire lives seeing mass shooting after mass shooting, and that needs to end now.” said Parkland shooting survivor Cameron Kasky to the crowd.
A moment of silence was also held for the Marjory Stoneman Douglas victims. “I work in a school and it can be scary. You don’t know what’s going to happen. I think the kids did great and hopefully the generation in charge will listen because they are the future.” said Niki Sarantos, a Texas high school teacher.
Voter registration booths were also set up inside the square and at the park. “Be counted this November. And if you’ve already registered to vote – register your friends.
