Bostonians and people from close by convened at Christopher Columbus Park, within the North End, on Saturday afternoon to protest gun violence.
Protestors held indicators proclaiming sentiments like “ABC’s not AR-15s,” or one youngster who held an indication that mentioned “I just want to be alive for recess!”
The protest was a part of a nationwide motion organized by a bunch referred to as March for Our Lives. According to their web site, the group began after the Feb. 14, 2018, faculty taking pictures in Parkland, Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, during which a gunman opened hearth, killing 17 folks and wounding 17 others.
“Our message and ask for this March is simple: no longer will we be held hostage by our lawmakers and no longer will we tolerate feeling unsafe in our communities,” the group wrote in an announcement of the protest. “Regardless of what party you stand for, if you do not support lifesaving measures like universal background checks, we will pledge to vote against you this fall and in future elections.”
