Despite Rain, Hundreds Turn Out For ”March for Our Lives” Springfield Event

The students who organized Saturday’s local version of the “March for Our Lives” are telling other young people that rallies aren’t enough… and that they also need to vote and be politically active.

Several hundred people turned out in a cold rain for the event at the State Capitol, advocating for tougher gun control measures.

Gun rights supporters held a competing rally across the street… but fewer than two dozen people turned out for that.
