Guardian: March for Our Lives: hundreds of thousands demand end to gun violence live
1.54pm 13:54
Ryan Deitsch, a Marjory Stoneman Douglas, is on stage challenging the notion we should arm teachers with guns.
Instead, he says, teachers need to be armed with school supplies. And students need to be armed with facts and education.
He’s also challenged the notion that the school walk out protests have disrupted education.
“We are done hiding,” Deitsch said. “We are done being full of fear.”
“This is the beginning of the end. From here, we fight.”
He, like so many other people to take the stage today, is focusing on the midterm elections and voter registration.
“Register, educate, vote.”
