On Saturday, in more than 800 cities across the world, people took to the streets to protest gun-violence, stand up for school safety, and demand stricter gun-control laws as part of the March for Our Lives. At protests in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City, Los Angeles, and other major cities in the U.S., countless marchers made and brought powerful signs with them to get their message across: After the horrific shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, they want change — and they want it now.
