One understood the extent of what happened and no one could believe there were bodies this that building waiting to be identified for over a day. No one knew that the people who were miss handgun stopped breathing long before any of us had known that a code red had been called. No one could comprehend the devastating aftermath or how far this would reach or where this would go. For those who still cant comprehend because they refuse to, im tell you where it went. Right into the ground, six feet deep. The demand for action in the shadow of our Nations Capital where lawmakers are clearly facing a new chapter in this pressure for change. Now we did not see President Trump weigh in on this today. His only tweet not ee even acknowledging the marches but did send a condolence to france. And here in washington the story is not silence. There was an unforgettable moment in Martin Luther king granddaughter when she took the stage and said this. My grandfather had a dream that his four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream that enough is enough. And that this should be a gunfree world. Period. We have coverage live from washington, including with the District Representative but i want to begin with beth fooey live in San Francisco. What are you seeing there. Were at the march part of the San Francisco march. You can see all of the people coming down from the beautiful, beautiful city of San Francisco. That is where the big rally was. Were not sure how many people were there. Tens of thousands for sure. We heard from survivors of mass shooting and we heard from parents and the senator from california, Dianne Feinstein who is the author of the assault weapons ban all of that time ago. But were hearing from regular folks. Kids and parents, signs and chanting and singing. And we also got a lot of grandparents including mel. And shes here, grannys for grandkids. I am. So tell us about your grandchildren and why youre here. One of my grandsons, hes he lives in reno, nevada, which is kind of a gun place. If youve heard. Any way, hes a freshman in high school and i hope that hes proud that i am marching for him and all of the other grandchildren that arent able to march with us right now. But know that were thinking of them and want them to be safe. There are so many inspiring speeches today. Im so happy i came. And i even got to shake hands with Dianne Feinstein. That is cool. She was here. So what do you want to see happen . What is the result of the march. Change. We cant be status quo any more. I cant imagine that Congress Wont do something about this. This is too big. This is too important. And what do you want them to do. I want them to ban assault guns. I want them to control the background checks. I want them the the sellers of the guns an the gun shows, i want them to be held accountable. Their responsible also. For supplying guns to those that are not stable. It is super emotional and your grandson should be proud of you for coming out today and so thank you for talking to us. So this is one story from so many seem here in San Francisco and it is a activist city where we have people like mel who havent been activists before but this is the issue to want to go to the streets and do a sign and take a walk, walking down Market Street down to the ferry building, about a mile walk from city hall and there they will stop and then sort of think about how this day went and reflect on what they want to do next. Back to you. Thank you, beth. On the ground in San Francisco. Live aerial shots there where it is another part of the country where were seeing with a lot of people out in the streets at this very moment. Steve patterson reporting for us live in los angeles. What is the scene there, steve . Reporter a historic scene on all coasts. From coast to coast. Here they are tearing down the stage. Could you see behind me, we sort of wrapped up the rally as it was. But the march was historic. Tens of thousands of people marching all throughout downtown. They shut down the entire sector here. Now sort of wrapping up. I think it is a Good Opportunity to kind of reflect and have some final thoughts. Giving a voice to people who might not normally have that voice. One of them is richard lindsay, you are from new jersey. But you are here in los angeles. Can you tell us why you cameo came out today. I came out to support the cause. It goes without saying that guns have ran rampant in our society and they there is too many lives that have that have been claimed by gun violence. You have your story of gun violence. You said yu grew up with it in new jersey. Youre an opera singer. Kind of trying to make it out here. Can you tell me what your experience was like growing up. In southern new jersey, i could tell you many times and many people who i went to high school with who were killed due to gun violence and i remember just in my community in richmond, new jersey, where gun violence was very, very bad. I remember it many nights here gunshots and some of the kids had said today, that you kind of become desensitized to it and it is unfortunate. We shouldnt have to live our lives that way. If so if lawmakers are watching, what is your message to them. Listen to what people have to say. Theyre making their mark and one of the things that i think is most important to acknowledge is is that people from all walks of life are speaking up and speaking out about this. I saw selena gomez here. If it hasnt made a mark, it should now. This is important. We dont need guns we dont need massive shootings like this to continue to happen. And i think that they just need to step up. They need to change these laws to allow people to get guns that are killing the lives of young people and anybody really. Thank you so much. Again, they need to step up. That is something we heard echo off the buildings of los angeles today. And throughout today as we march along. Back to you. Thank you, steve. Our live coverage continues here in washington. Im joining by congressman Eleanor Holmes norton who represents washington, d. C. And e. J. Deon and alia eastland who is a shooting survivor and she spoke at the rally today. I will just say, usually we start with elected officials when they are in a panel. But i begin with you. Because it is students who have set this tone. You lived through this. What do you want people to know. That it doesnt just happen in schools but in urban communities forever. And what did you think looking out on the crowd today . It must have been something. It made me extremely nervous. But it made it and were you feeling like this was the crowd you were expecting or as many people have said it is larger than expected. I expected that much. You thought this would be huge. Yes. And how are you keeping in touch with fellow students as you go through this today. It is hard for me to keep in touch because my phone is always constantly ringing but theyre more important to me and students from urban communities that ive gotten in touch with, they are the most important to me. So ive just been calling them and texting and making sure they are okay and were fighting this together. Stay with me and stay with me. Congress woman, you see this leadership from students and some liken it to what we saw in the Civil Rights Movement where young people were taking risk and young people were leading and saying dont tell us wait any more. As someone who has been an advocate for the issues for a long time, what do you see today . I certainly believe you should have started first. The difference is that, yes, it was young people, the Student Coordinating Committee and i was a college student, ultimately a law student and we got three civil rights statues past. This is the difference. The movement was not really led by snick, it was led by the big seven as they called themself. Snick and core and the naacp and the rest. This is very different. A bunch of teenagers are leading us and telling us what to do and if i may say so, considering that weve had this fight for decades and not been able to move it, we are ready for new leadership. Were getting it now from our children and grandchildren. When you look at gun control issues in congress, if this is an issue if we are going to be real, some democrats have been for the measures and some have not and most republicans have all been against it. How do you win over a coalition to back up what is happening here on the mall . This is how theyre going to win. They have worked up the american people. So that what you see now in the polls, which is a good chance that the democrats will at least take back the house and maybe in the senate is the key to the change. And the Congress View on guns my good friends and republicans on the other side are captured by the nra. And we have seep that it is very hard to delink them from them. I think some of them will be impressed, but they were unscared from the students. So my own prediction would be that when the Congress Turns over and i predict it will, the effect of todays march and if i may say so, the followup, because what is impressive is that these students are not stopping with a march. I mean, i heard one student say that he was inviting the next step to invite his member of congress to a town hall and if the member doesnt come, hes going to invite his opponent and if that isnt sophisticated politics, i havent heard any. And before i go to e. J. For you, youve been clashing with senator rubio with his own interaction in your fellow students at the town hall. Because you guys disagree about gun control issues right here in this city. Well we are at one with the students in parkland. We feel a special solidarity with them. Because their senator senator marco rubio for the last three years has introduced a bill to take away each and every gun law in the District Of Columbia. And we have tough gun laws. And look at why he did it. In a in a deep act of cynicism in minutes after he put that bill in, the nra raised his rating from a bplus to an a so he gets a payoff every time he puts that bill and i hope you carry that back to florida so he does not get away with not only supporting you with strong gun laws, but intruding in the Self Government of the District Of Columbia and trying to take away our gun laws. We have blocked him. If we have blocked him then im sure you can stop him. Well that is that is an interesting colloquy about that organizing. And e. J. , the premise of the Congress Womans statement is that marco rubio wans a better nra rating. How do you change the politics of that. I was so struck by what happened today in three respects. One an incredible seriousness. That Amma Gonzalez speech reminded us of why we were here. That long silence, the names of every student. But there was also a almost a joy in solidarity in that crowd. I was out in the crowd all day and there was a real sense that were not going anywhere until something happens and you really felt that out there. But there was a third piece that i think makes a big difference. Which is it was very political in the best sense of political. That is to say were not here for the short run, were here for the long haul. Practically every 20 feet as you went down the march line there was someone with a clip board saying register to vote. The most one of the most popular chants all day long was vote them out. So that unlike a lot of a lot of times movements sort of say, well were about a movement, not about politics. And here you saw a clear link being made that if we want this outcome and the demands were very, very clear, then we need to engage in actual electoral politics and as i said, you felt that all along that parade route. And as were speaking, were stilling look at the live pictures here. This is live in San Francisco, california. One of the places in the country where the march looks just gigantic and it is just a huge part of the gathering in that city. Theyre zeroing in on a different part but in the streets you see a lot of people. Congress woman, how much of this then turns to understanding the difference between people who come from households that own guns, which is about half of voting households, and the much, much smaller sliver of the gun industry and what you might call Assault Rifle enthusiasts who seem to have taken over this movement. Because you and others have said in the congress, you can protect the Second Amendment and protect hunting and fishing and selfdefense and still deal with this. How do you cleave that . Because as someone who followed these issues in the last couple of weeks, a lot more attention to that than the typical way this issues describe. I think we can get them. Because the polls show they have background checks for example. They are for no assault weapons. Here is why we lose and theyve won in the congress. Theyre members vote guns and only guns. Our people vote all kinds of issues. Now i hate to say this, because i dont like voting only one issue but i think weve come to the point when it comes to gun safety legislation that if people dont think guns first, when they go to the polls, we may not make it. You want that to be a litmus test in your party. I do. I think weve got to equal the nra with saying what comes first with you. And we have a lot of stuff going on here. But what could be more important than saving the lives of kids . So i think given the fact that even their own nra base believes that they have nothing wrong with background checks and by the way, that is one of the issues one of the critiques of the rally. Because this was a rally that let stories be told and let us all understand the issue. A lot of people came away without understanding what people like me should do in the congress of the United States. Background checks for example. Or i would have loved to have heard some youngsters say keep people like me from getting guns atle is until im 21. Im going to fit in a break. It is part of our 17 minutes straight live coverage. I wanted to ask you before we go, the hardest question. Are you ready for the hardest question . Yes. What is next . Keep talking about it. Dont stop talking about it until it is fixed. And were not going to stop. And youre going to continue to hear about it until it is fixed. You and your students and your colleagues arent going anywhere. Were not going anywhere. E. J. , sometimes you get the short end of the stick because i got to get a break. But my thanks to each of our panelists. E. J. Deon an Congress Woman norton and anna from park land.

Were back covering march for our lives here in washington where the rally has concluded. People still moving around the city and across the country, were seeing marches and rallies continue. Beth fooey is live for us in San Francisco. Where the march is going full steam. What are you seeing, beth . Reporter it is going full steam. Even though it is getting into the evening hours on the east coast, were middle of the afternoon here in San Francisco. It is a Beautiful Day and people are marching, heading down to the embarcadero, the water front in San Francisco a mile down the road. They were at a rally at city hall for an hour and then they took to the streets. This is a lot more people than we realized that were here because they stretched beyond City Hall Park where we stopped an watch the speakers. So were heading down to the embarcadero and i brought a few people marching with us. Cory and harvey and betty. A
