On Wednesday, thousands of students across the country participated in the National School Walkout today in honor of the 17 victims of the Parkland shooting just one month ago.

These kids, of all ages, have devoted 17 minutes of silence to commemorating the lives lost, and while they have been joined by family and community members across the country, celebrities have also been cheering them on as they fight for change.

Whether or not it does, the teens of Parkland, Florida have the backing of some famous faces off the red carpet—and millions of citizens—as they gear up to flood Washington D.C. during March for Our Lives on March 24.
