"March for our Lives" protest on March 24 "could draw as many as 500,000 to the nation's capital"

It's already been confirmed that Trump will be at Log-o-Merde...flight space is restricted starting Friday.

In Washington on March 24, protesters will march along Pennsylvania Avenue starting at noon. The demonstration could draw as many as 500,000 people to the nation’s capital. More than 800 “sibling marches” are also planned worldwide, from Maui to Lincoln, Nebraska, to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to Hong Kong.

I am glad he won't be in DC. During the Women's March he tweeted "What fine weather for a parade".

My car can't hold all the people going with me so we have to take two. Over 825 cities world wide too! Since 2 hours ago this morning there have been 27 more cities added to the list! RESIST!
Here is the link with maps, times, etc and pictures for ideas for signs. Hey, hey NRA, how many people did you kill today?

MARCH FOR OUR LIVES Sat the 24th 825+ cities
will be hosting marches/rallies. Only 75 were organized at this time a few days after the FL High School shootings one month ago. This will likely surpass the Women's March in numbers. This is a WORLD WIDE event now and it started with determined young people that had #ENOUGH! They are RESISTING!

Two weeks ago I learned that the 500,000 people planning to attend the March in DC at the Mall wouldn't be allowed to as they had planned since they didn't get their permit in before another event that was already scheduled had made arrangements for that place and date. I just saw on MSNBC (Lawrence) that the Cherry Blossom Festival was kind enough to move their event to Sunday, March 25th so the anti-gun violence protesters will be able to have their March For Our Lives after all. Here is the current map with info, places, times, maps, ideas, etc.
