D.C.-Area Students Plan Thursday Walkout and Protest Against Gun Violence
They will take the Metro and march from the White House to the Capitol.

Sitting on the ground with both legs folded, Ruby Brayton, 18, is focused on cutting out perfectly shaped hearts. She stacks them up one on top of another as several other students follow her lead. These students, better known as the organization MoCo Students for Change, plan on placing 1,000 hearts on a banner that they will ultimately mail out to schools affected by gun violence.
This is not the only assignment the students have planned this week.
On Thursday, they will lead a walkout against gun violence throughout the D.C. area. Students will walk out of their schools, march to their nearest Metro station (some schools have buses which will pick them up and drive them to the nearest station), rally in front of the White House at 10 a.m., and then march to the Capitol in an effort to spread their message.
