About the Company
After 17 of their classmates and friends were gunned down on February 14, 2018, in yet another mass shooting at a school, students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School banded together and formed March for Our Lives, a nationwide protest/awareness movement with the mission to try and halt this ongoing horror. The group organized a massive march on Washington, D.C. that took place on March 24, 2018, with more than 800 accompanying nationwide actions, many of which were 17 minutes of silent protest (one minute for each victim). The march on Washington was one of the largest youth-led protests held since the Vietnam War, with attendance estimates ranging from 200,000 to 800,000 people. The success of the march encouraged the group to continue and expand its mission for gun control.
