March 14th, 2018, marks one month since the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. To commemorate the tragedy, survivors and student activists from nearly 3,000 schools across the country walked out of class to demand stricter laws on gun control. Throughout the morning, students honored the 17 victims of the shooting and held up signs in peaceful protests to demonstrate support of the #NeverAgain and #Enough movements.
