People from the North Shore and all over Massachusetts headed to Boston today for the March Of Our Lives, a demonstration and rally for gun safety.
The “March For Our Lives” rally in Boston set off from Madison Vocational High School in the Roxbury neighborhood on Saturday morning and ends downtown at the Boston Common in the afternoon.
Rallies are also taking place in a number of other Massachusetts communities, including Ipswich, Pittsfield, Plymouth, Springfield and Worcester. They’re also happening in neighboring Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Hampshire.
The events are timed with a larger rally Saturday in Washington, D.C. led by students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were killed in a Valentine’s Day shooting.
Here are some of the images and thoughts from protesters at the scene.
