Organized by initiators of the #NeverAgain movement and survivors of last month’s school shootings in Parkland, Florida, which left 17 people dead after an attack at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the marches are predominantly developed “for kids and by kids,” an initiative that follows the National School Walkout earlier this month.
