Student-led Rally Against Gun Violence in San Jose, CA



There were about 3.000 of us in the rain today, March 24, 2018, in the park by the Guadalupe River in downtown San Jose, rallying against gun violence in America. From babies in strollers to passionate, energized students to grandparents in flannels, the message delivered to elected officials was loud and clear: "Enough with gun violence. We, the students, are taking charge. You adults can follow us as we change gun laws in America once and for all. No more hiding behind the 2nd Amendment."

At one point during the rally we experienced a mild hailstorm. But we knew in our hearts that the real one would be coming during the next election when a student-driven hailstorm will eradicate the catastrophic effects of gun violence, bad governance and immoral behavior by some of the Trump-led elected officials of America. "What is easier to buy than a gun in America today? A Republican Politician." Indeed.

Let the pictures tell the life-affirming story of the "March for Our Lives" rally in San Jose and around the country today.
