Vox: March for Our Lives in photos

Thousands of students gathered in the nation’s capital to protest for gun control and safer schools.

On Saturday, thousands of Americans rallied in Washington, DC, and across the country in the March for Our Lives, a stand against gun violence and in support of new restrictions on firearms.

The countrywide protests are an attempt to get Congress to finally take some action. For years, the side opposing gun restrictions — with the backing of powerful groups like the National Rifle Association (NRA) — has generally dominated Congress.

The San Diego March was huge...almost as large as the Women's March. So glad to hear "Vote Them Out!" as a chant. I wish they could vote in the midterms!

... that Vox says “thousands”. I mean, it was 800,000 in DC alone! The more journalistically sound phrase would by “hundreds of thousands” if not “nearly a million”.
