Students chant “enough is enough”
11:20 a.m. ET: Students chanted “enough is enough” and held up signs with slogans like “our ballots will stop bullets” at a rally in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were killed in a school shooting last month.
More than 20,000 people filled the park near Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School for the March for Our Lives rally Saturday morning. Others from the area traveled to Washington, D.C., where the main March for Our Lives event is being held.
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft let over 100 people, including families of victims of the Parkland shooting, use the team’s charter plane for the trip. Team spokesman Stacey James says astronaut Mark Kelly reached out to Kraft for the favor. “It’s a hard thing to say no to, especially involving these victims,” James said.
