Here’s why people are marching, according to organizers:

“In a national day of action, students and survivors of gun violence from around the country have organized over 400 local marches, from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Belfast, Maine, to Mission, Texas. On March 24, communities large and small will come together, calling on legislators to pass common sense gun safety legislation, and make the lives of America's students their #1 priority."

The rally comes just 10 days after the national #ENOUGH student walkouts on gun violence, which included hundreds of students in the Montclair Public School District.
