March For Our Lives Youth Mobilize Against Gun Violence
UUs Gather to Support Youth March Saturday, June 11
11:30am ET (UU Gathering)
12noon - 2pmET (Main event)
*note time change On the heels of Buffalo, NY, and Uvalde, Texas, youth plan to march and demonstrate in the U.S. capital, demanding a nation free of gun violence, as they did in 2018. The march is aimed at showing elected officials that youth have not forgotten, and will not have their demands ignored. An impromptu meet-up for UUs has been set by Kirk Freeman, ministerial intern at the UU Church of Rockville (MD), and Pablo DeJesus, UUSJ executive director, at 14th NW and Madison Drive NW, diagonally across from the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The meetup location is near shady trees and convenient to all Metro lines. Those gathered will process toward the main March For Our Lives gathering and/or stage at 12noon ET. The MFOL registration says the event will take place at the Washington Monument. | |
