Gun Control Themed 'March For Our Lives' In Front of Trump Tower. New York City, New York.
La Cartita --- Surviving victims of Florida's school shooting last month, in which 17 school children were shot fatally by Nikolas Cruz, read the names of their murdered classmates aloud among a huge crowd in New York City. More than 20 thousand protestors marched and closed 6th Avenue off for their presence. Despite these numbers, the protests were even larger in Washington DC where 700,000 people are reportedly protesting at the nation's capital.

Mayor rallies have sprung up across elsewhere in the United States. In Houston, Texas, 15 thousand people marched in their downtown, all while Texas is flooded with guns due to relaxed state level regulation on firearms. Houston's mayor was present to implore local adults take action on children's safety. Curiously, Houston's police chief marched arm in arm with protestors, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Los Angeles Also Had ProtestsSome have claimed that this series of marches were bigger than women's march from last year.
I'm no good at counting. But the March in LA looks and feels even bigger than the women's march. pic.lacartita.com/FRvRhOMe6I
