Thousands of protesters from across the country are marching through Washington, D.C. today for the second March for Our Lives.
The rally is a successor to the 2018 march organized by student protestors after the mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla.
The march comes in the wake of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, last month that killed 19 children and 2 teachers. Demonstrators are calling on lawmakers to pass stricter gun safety legislation.
Yolanda King speaks during March for Our Lives 2022. Yolanda King is the granddaughter of Martin Luther King Jr., and a young activist against gun violence. Yolanda has used her experience having lost her grandfather and great-grandmother to gun violence to advocate for gun safety legislation.
Here are some scenes from the protest.
Hundreds of rallies were planned today across the country to push for gun safety laws.
