Tens of thousands of demonstrators are expected to rally in Washington, DC, and across the US, as part of a renewed push for nationwide gun controls following the recent massacre of students and teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, APA reports citing Al Jazeera
More than 450 rallies are scheduled for Saturday, including events in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, according to March for Our Lives, a gun safety group founded by student survivors of a 2018 massacre at a high school in Florida.
Motivated to demonstrate following a recent surge in mass shootings, from Uvalde to Buffalo, New York, protesters are calling on lawmakers to take note of shifting public opinion and pass legislation aimed at curbing gun violence.
The attack in Uvalde that killed 19 children and two teachers on May 24, took place just 10 days after another gunman murdered 10 Black people in a Buffalo grocery store in a racist attack.
