Where to March for Your Life this Saturday in the Kansas City area
This Saturday, something on the order of a half-million people are expected to converge on Washington, D.C., to participate in March for Our Lives, an anti-gun-violence rally organized by students in the wake of the Parkland school shooting in Florida and the thousands of other senseless acts of gun violence facilitated by the National Rifle Association, an American terrorist organization.
Similar rallies are being held across the country on Saturday, including several in the Kansas City area. The largest of these is being held at Theis Park, just south of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The protest will run from approximately noon to 4 p.m. More information here and here.
A smaller protest is scheduled in Lee’s Summit. More info here.
And in Lawrence, the protest begins at 10 a.m. at the William Kelly Bandstand, near 12th Street and Massachusetts. More info here and here.
If you can’t make it out, you can sign the March for Our Lives petition, which asks citizens to demand a ban on the sale of assault weapons, a ban on the sale of high-capacity magazines, and improvements to the background-check system. Do that here.
