'March For Our Lives' Includes Omaha Event

On Saturday kids and families supporting March For Our Lives will take to the streets of Washington, DC and other cities, including Omaha, to demand that their lives and safety become a priority.  

March for Our Lives is a demonstration created and organized by a group of students who survived the Feb. 14 shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.  Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control advocacy group, is helping the students plan and coordinate the event.

After the shooting organizers called on lawmakers to address the issue of gun violence in American schools by implementing comprehensive gun control legislation.

Supporters are pushing to pass a law to ban assault weapons, stop the sale of high-capacity magazines and implement laws that require background checks on every gun purchase, including those that occur online or at gun shows

There are four demonstrations planned for Nebraska and all will start at 12 noon.

Omaha Lewis and Clark Landing, 345 Riverfront Drive

Lincoln 1400 R Street

Hastings 1100 West 14th Street

Kearney UNK Warner Hall, 2504 9th Ave.
