March for Our Lives 2022 in Washington D.C.

WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 11: Gun control activist X Gonzalez speaks during a March for Our Lives rally against gun violence on the National Mall June 11, 2022 in Washington, DC. The March For Our Lives movement was spurred by the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018. After recent mass shootings in Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas, a bipartisan group of Senators continue to negotiate a potential compromise deal on gun violence and gun safety legislation. “Thousands of people in rain slickers and T-shirts poured into Washington Saturday to rally against the nation’s epidemic of gun violence and to demand that Congress take steps to end it. They gathered on a gray morning on the Mall to join the rally staged by March for Our Lives, the organization founded by student survivors of the 2018 mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla.” -Washington Post
