Utah Gun Exchange joins 'March for Our Lives' rally

A pro-gun group from Utah traveled to Chicago this week to participate in a "March For Our Lives" rally against gun violence despite many organizers being vocally supportive of tougher gun laws.

Members of the Utah Gun Exchange have documented their trip to Chicago on Facebook as they join marchers in what they say is a unified message of opposition against violence in schools, while maintaining their support for the Second Amendment.

Saturday's rally, the first stop on the organization's "Road to Change" national tour with scheduled stops in nine states, was billed as an "End of School Year" rally meant to coincide with the end of classes for Chicago public schools.

Hundreds of rallygoers gathered on Chicago's south side at St. Sabina's Catholic Church for a rally that included celebrity appearances from Chance the Rapper, Jennifer Hudson, and Will.i.am, according to Teen Vogue.

March For Our Lives Summer road trip to get people registered to vote.
https://marchforourlives.com/tour/
Check out the link and see when they will be in your town. RESIST GUN VIOLENCE....VOTE!

The Road to Change kicks off on Friday, June 15 in Chicago, where we’ll be joining the Peace March, led by students from St. Sabina Academy.

From there we are traveling from city to city, with more than 50 planned stops in over 20 states including Iowa, Texas, California, South Carolina, and Connecticut. We’ll also hold a separate Florida tour with more than 25 stops, visiting every congressional district.

We’re going to places where the NRA has bought and paid for politicians who refuse to take simple steps to save our lives — and we’ll be visiting a number of communities that have been affected by gun violence to meet fellow survivors and use our voices to amplify theirs.

At each stop, we’ll register young people to vote and educate them on the reforms we need to save lives, and whether their local elected officials support these reforms or support the NRA.
