Our March was organized by students

Many of the speakers were students.
There was a mom who lost her daughter to gun violence.

It had a Q&A with public officials......including our US representative and one of the two state senators for the county as well as state and local officials.
They had grade school children ask their own questions to the officials.

Memorable line:
If we wanted "thoughts and prayers" from our government, we would elect Priests as politicians.
