DETAILS
On March 14, 2019, Bay Area schools participated in the second annual high school walkout against gun violence. At 10:00 AM, thousands of students walked out of their classrooms to participate in the event, which lasted 17 minutes for the 17 lives lost in Parkland, Florida on February 14, 2018. Exactly one year prior, around 3,000 schools around the country walked out to honor the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and to demand gun violence reform from local and federal governments. While some action has happened and some reforms have been made, it is not enough. We walked out again to prove to our representatives that fear has no place in our schools.
