Here are a bunch of photos and video from today’s #MarchforOurLives events in Virginia and DC. I’ll keep adding more as I see them. As for the most assinine, clueless tweet I’ve seen so far today, that comes from Virginia GOP U.S. Senate candidate Nick Freitas, who tweeted, “Instead of marching to infringe on Second Amendment rights or rallying against the First Amendment which protects our freedoms of expression, let’s talk solutions.”
During #NationalWalkoutDay, I stood in solidarity with the thousands of students across the country protesting gun violence.
It’s time to end Congressional inaction on guns and the NRA’s vice grip on our country. #EnoughIsEnough #NeverAgain pic.twitter.com/W6Cs2kVFx7

.@timkaine to marchers at Richmond #MarchForOurLives: “We need you so badly. I had grown somewhat despondent… But when I saw the students of this country standing up, now I have more hope because of you.” Adds that we need universal background checks + assault weapons ban. pic.twitter.com/j9QgmoCBRP

Baby Aurora is marching today in Richmond because she and her mom want no more Auroras or Parklands or Virginia Techs or Sandy Hooks. They want weapons of war off the streets and they want to be safe. #MarchForOurLives pic.twitter.com/5dnCBjwd8X

A lot of great energy out here this morning at the @arlingtondems gun control solidarity march! So proud of all the young people including the Parkland students who are demanding common sense gun control. It’s past due time for congress to take action. #MarchForOurLives pic.twitter.com/UEo62FJq4m

Good morning from Richmond’s #MarchForOurLives
I march for the 32 lives lost in 2007 at Virginia Tech – and the kids we’ve lost to gun violence every day since. Enough.
Who do you march for? pic.twitter.com/EyiRKf06IT

This is who I march for.
For our littlest kids.
The ones who have not yet stepped foot into a classroom. They deserve to grow up in an America where school shootings just don’t happen.#MarchForOurLives pic.twitter.com/Q9bBMKEj5n

Complacency is compliance. Inaction is indifference.
Politicians who don’t act on the gun violence crisis will have a lot to answer for on Election Day.#MarchForOurLives pic.twitter.com/9oG0t5lhzd
