March for Our Lives anti-gun violence rallies: How and where to find one in your area

March 23, 2018

In the wake of the mass shooting at a Parkland, Florida, high school last month, hundreds of rallies will take place Saturday to protest the scourge of gun violence in America and the maddening unwillingness of Congressional lawmakers to address the issue in a meaningful way. “March for Our Lives” was spearheaded by students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 people were killed on Valentine’s Day this year.

In addition to the flagship rally in Washington, D.C., organizers are expecting at least 840 rallies and other events across the country. We’ve rounded up info on some of the larger rallies below.
