12 ways to support the movement against gun violence
This Saturday, March 24th, led by students, millions will be marching in Washington, DC, and around the country and world against gun violence. Following the tragedy at Parkland, students and young adults are raising their voices to demand gun control from elected officials.
Our team at The Webby Awards stands in solidarity with those who have fallen victim to senseless gun violence, and we support the Marjory Stoneman Douglas students. Here’s a guide to supporting the #NeverAgain movement, both on-the-ground and online.
