The rally will conclude with a march from Innes Park to Bottega Art & Wine at 723 N. 4th Street.
Created after the February 14, 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, March For Our Lives is “a youth-led organization dedicated to promoting civic engagement, education, and direct action by youth to eliminate the epidemic of gun violence.”
The organization aims to create safe communities across the nation free from gun violence by lobbying for common-sense gun laws, registering voters, holding rallies, and much more.
