A seemingly endless variety of signs were on display at the March For Our Lives this weekend, but look closely and you may have noticed a few common trends emerging.

One is the bright red sign with bold black text, sometimes accompanied by others like it and usually calling out specific individuals or institutions for their inaction in the face of tragedy. Like so:

Emma Gonzalez’s March For Our Lives speech will go down in history

You’re going to remember this speech for a long time.

At Saturday’s March For Our Lives in Washington, D.C., Parkland activist Emma Gonzalez stood silently crying at the podium for six minutes and 20 seconds — the amount of time it took for a shooter to steal the lives of 17 of her classmates.

“In a little over six minutes, 17 of our friends were taken from us, 15 were injured, and everyone, absolutely everyone, was forever altered,” she said. “Everyone who was there understands. Everyone who has been touched by the cold grip of gun violence understands.” Read more…

All the best protest signs from the March For Our Lives

Millions of marchers gathered in cities across the country for Saturday’s March For Our Lives — and they brought their best signs with them.

Teens have spearheaded this movement for meaningful action on gun violence, and that age group turned out to be particularly creative with their slogans. (No surprise there.) Students from Parkland, Fla., wore price tags reading “$1.05” — the value of a human life, determined after dividing the amount of money Marco Rubio accepted from the NRA by the number of students in Florida.

Even from the olds, there were plenty of witty, artful, and poignant messages to go around. Read more…

Taylor Swift finally takes a stand and donates to March for our Lives

Taylor Swift has always been the Ken Bone of music. In that she’s resistant to taking any kind of political stand, not that she’s been found to be a milkshake duck. 

On Friday, T Swift shifted majorly out of character and announced that she would be making a donation to March for Our Lives, the student led protest movement advocating for greater gun control.

“No one should have to go to school in fear of gun violence,” Swift wrote on Instagram. “I’ve made a donation to show my support for the students, for the March For Our Lives campaign, for everyone affected by these tragedies, and to support gun reform. I’m so moved by the Parkland High School students, faculty, by all families and friends of victims who have spoken out, trying to prevent this from happening again.” Read more…

Why three university students rallied to organise a London March for Our Lives

Three of the deadliest mass shootings in modern U.S. history have occurred since Stephanie Thompson moved from Denver to London six months ago to study abroad. With an ocean now dividing her from the country she calls home, Thompson says she feels powerless in the face of America’s gun violence epidemic. 

That’s why 24-year-old Thompson and two American classmates at London School of Economics — Stephen Paduano and David Scollan—rallied together to organise the UK’s March for Our Lives. On Saturday March 24, Londoners will gather beside the American flag outside the U.S. Embassy in London to show solidarity with students marching on Washington D.C. to demand legislation to stop further shootings.  Read more…

As students, parents, and concerned citizens across the United States prepare to march in protest of gun violence on March 24, they can also take part in a virtual and educational journey towards Washington.

To raise awareness for March For Our Lives — an upcoming march on Washington organized by survivors of the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Flordia — art director Martins Zelcs and his friends created a video game called Game For Our Lives.

The online game allows players to become one of three avatars inspired by real Stoneman students— Emma, David, or Delaney — and march to Washington to change gun laws. Read more…
