I didn't think my area would have a March for our Lives today. I live in a dark red deep south area. I call it BubbaLand. There is no Democratic Party presence here. Pickup trucks & guns is the way it rocks here.
So I did a search, just to see....and guess what? There IS a March for our Lives! Imagine that!?! Someone registered it! There's a location and everything! I RSVP'd to the march!
So I'm going to go and see what's up and support the cause. It may be only a handful of young people, but for there to even be such a protest in this area is remarkable. The info on the march says they are not advertising it, so as to avoid interference before it gets under way. Who registered the protest? And why does it not start until 6:00 p.m.?

Please don't engage any gun-toting Bubbas and BE SAFE!

(26,177 posts)I'm hoping there is a big turn out from some of the suburban school districts. I don't think any of them participated in the walk out - which was a massive disappointment.
I am currently in my 'ok, what am I forgetting' phase, before heading out the door.

Fort Smith, AR, is having a march just about a mile from my house. I don't know what kind of attendance to expext. I learned about it from the March for Our Lives website
ETA: Not a huge crowd, maybe 200, but more than I expected and more people arriving. I'm pleasantly surprised.
I don't see any of our local TV stations covering the event. 'sigh'
