Today we, a we of those meeting up in 842 cities around the world, gather to march as promised by the leaders of March for Our Lives announced back on February 18th. We March with them as they ask for simple, common sense gun measures: banning AR-15s, 3-day waiting periods, and universal background checks.
We March with them because thoughts and prayers don’t work for those in their last moments as they are gunned down by old partners, by strangers, by officers or by accident; and it doesn’t work for us after.
Others with guns should not infringe on our right to move forward, our want to express equality, and our loved ones desires for us to see another day
Today We March because they should never have had to, because we want to show what true power is and that change is coming; because they outnumber us, and they know it
Be safe everyone
