Crowds of people hold signs on Pennsylvania Avenue at the “March for Our Lives” rally in support of gun control, Saturday, March 24, 2018, in Washington, D.C. The rally was a student-led response to the lack of political action against mass shootings, including the killing of 17 students and educators at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., last month.
A half-million demonstrators were predicted for the nation’s capital Saturday, with sibling rallies being held in cities across the U.S. and around the world.
