(115,734 posts)The march was organized by high school students and they are the speakers, so it's mainly their thing. But it looks to me like there are people of all ages in the crowd.

(115,734 posts)and the other marches around the country. That's the whole point! This isn't like the '60s where the protests occurred mostly on college campuses and consisted almost entirely of students at those colleges. It's intended to include everyone, although organized and focused on high school students. I have no doubt that there are many college students at these marches, just like there are older people. I'd be at one myself if I could.

For those on the right who condemn and criticize the kids, I call BS. Im impressed by their passion. Cant wait for all of them to turn 18 and vote. good observation
