Hundreds in Olympia 'March for Our Lives' Saturday to call for gun control legislation
Hundreds rallied in Olympia Saturday during a March for Our Lives event to call on lawmakers to pass gun safety legislation.
Olympia Indivisible organized the 90-minute march in which participants looped around Tivoli Fountain on the Capitol Campus before making several loops down and around Capitol Way.
Im here because I think it is crucial and critical that our elected representatives understand that the vast majority of Americans want an end to gun violence, Lisa Ornstein, co-founder of Olympia Indivisible, told McClatchy. They want action, not thoughts and prayers. They want meaningful, impactful legislation that will save lives and create gun safety where there is so very little.
Other organizations such as Grey Resistance Indivisible, a senior citizen group, and the Olympia High School Feminism Club participated in the rally and march as well. The Feminism Club has led two recent school walk-outs in Olympia, one against gun violence and one after the draft of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked.
