This week’s story update on the Election Central Web site examines the March For Our Lives protest event that happened across the country on Saturday, March 24.
More than 800 protests occurred in every U.S. state, and on every continent except Antarctica. The nationwide March For Our Lives event was organized by students, spearheaded by the student survivors of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, last month. According to their mission statement, the goal of the event was to “demand that a comprehensive and effective bill be immediately brought before Congress to address these gun issues.”
