The best signs from the March For Our Lives that prove teens are smarter than any politician

‘Regulations for dress code are tighter than gun regulations in schools’

Hundreds of thousands of people around the world are speaking out against gun violence in the March For Our Lives today. In huge protests from city to city, people are saying “no more” to school shootings after a gunman claimed 17 lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

In Washington, DC, shooting survivor David Hogg told the crowd: “When politicians say your voice doesn’t matter because the NRA owns them, we say ‘no more’. When politicians send us thoughts and prayers with no action, we say ‘no more’… We will come together, we will get rid of these public servants that only serve the gun lobby. We will save lives. You are those heroes.”

Marching with him were young people across America – in New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Boston and more. Check out their amazing signs from the day:

In February my school went on lockdown. We didn't know any information so we texted our parents. Thankfully nothing happened but here's my mom's sign.
