(21,646 posts)March for Our Lives on Chicago's Near West Side
Participants will gather at Union Park, 1501 W. Randolph St., at 11 a.m., to demand that lawmakers take action to prevent mass shootings. Organizers also emphasized that the march will focus on violence in Chicago.
"In this larger conversation about gun control and school shootings, we need to be incorporating gun violence in places like Chicago, where it affects people of color at higher rates than majorities," said Sarah Jester, a senior at Walter Payton College Prep in Chicago.
Jester said many of her fellow students are too young to vote, and March for Our Lives gives them a voice.

After gathering at 11 a.m. in Union Park, protesters will march through the neighborhood around the park. The event will include performers and speakers, all under the age of 21, organizers said.
