Many Somerville students, particularly members and supporters of the Students Against Gun Violence group, organized primarily by Somerville High School students, took part in the March For Our Lives event in Boston last Saturday, March 24. The photos shown here are from the event.

Students from all around the state traveled to Boston to demonstrate their commitment to ending gun violence, especially in our schools. Similar demonstrations took place across the nation in major cities and small towns alike.

According to Students Against Gun Violence, students will walkout once again this week on Wednesday, and go to the state house for their third visit to ensure that legislators are not making empty promises. Students are calling for the Extreme Risk Protective Orders (H.3610) to be passed, and they say they will stop at nothing to see that happen. The students believe they have made it clear that this is a movement and not a moment by showing unyielding dedication to their cause.
