Community Impact LAB March for Our Lives
|
On March 24, the kids, families and friends of March For Our Lives took to the streets to demand that their lives and safety become a priority and that we end gun violence and mass shootings in our schools and communities today.
Our agency is amplified and change happens when we come together. We are inspired by the hundreds of people in San Leandro who joined in marching to end gun violence in our schools and communities. It’s up to each and every one of us to do better for our children.
