Activists & Nonprofits Mobilize In Response To Shooting & Increase In Child Gun Deaths
In Nashville, Tennessee, student activists from March For Our Lives and Students Demand Action (associated with Everytown for Gun Safety) have been protesting for gun reform and school safety, following a school shooting on March 27 that killed three children and three adults, as reported by Mashable.
