This Saturday several cities in the Sunshine State will host March for Our Lives events, the movement created in 2018 by student survivors of the Parkland shooting to end gun violence.

This Saturday, June 11, March for Our Lives will hold more than 400 marches in 45 states as well as an event in Washington, DC, in the wake of multiple mass shootings that have left more than 100 people dead in recent weeks, including 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

David Hogg, survivor, activist, and founder of the movement, is also requesting people outside of the country to protest gun violence at US embassies.

Several Florida cities will host events, one of them in Parkland, where in 2018, a 19-year-old gunman killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Floridians and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at Floricua has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Florida families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
