Want to let this ever happen again. Our generation is sick of having to live through the Mass Shootings, having to be constantly prepared for tragedies like this. Im stnding with all the people involved in the never again movement who desperately want to see commonsense Gun Legislation pass. This is a movement that will not stop. Its not about how you go down or what happens to you, its about what you do after. I feel like our present unwillingness to change is devastating our future so if i dont use my time wisely while im on this earth. Then whats my point . Whats my purpose. Show me your sign, it says something pretty incredible. Read it to me. It says i cant vote you back in if eye dead. The fact that were standing up to our politicians and were telling them, this is enough. It means that change is going to happen. Well the excitement is build hearing in our Nations Capital, as thousands are poring into the streets for todays march for our lives. A rally demanding an end to gun violence in the nations schools. Lets check out the scene in washington, d. C. , half a Million People could be taking part in this event. Its making it one of the biggest ever in d. C. It is truly incredible. Listen to the noise around us. Approximately 20 students at Marjory StonemanDouglas High School in parkland florida organized the march after 17 students and adults were killed in a mass shooting there exactly 39 days ago. Their message is clear enough is enough. But this isnt the only place theyre gathering, more than 800 rallies are planned in cities and towns across america and around the world. Heres a live look at parkland, florida, which is holding its own march today. Its extraordinary. Look at all of this around us. And the noise is building. And its not just noise, its music, its the helicopters overhead. Its the people walking down the street. It is just its exciting and inspiring. Its, theres some anger motivating people. Theres camaraderie and support. Theres people who are out here to support not just those victims from parkland, but the victims from columbine, the victims from sandy hook. The victims from every shooting in america. They all come and say the same thing this has to stop. Theres too much of it. We do it more than any other countries. You guys figure out a way to do it. If you dont, were going to be here to pressure you and were going to be here to vote. Much admiration for these kids. Joining us from d. C. , others that we admire. Nbcs mariana intense yoe and Kerry Sanders and msnbcs Jacob Soberoff, on the road to d. C. Jacob, where are you, whats going on . We are out here in baltimore at mondaman mall, baltimore has seen a particularly violent year. Here is the mayor of baltimore. I was saying to our viewers live on msnbc. Baltimore last year had a particularly violent year. U. S. A. Today called baltimore the most violent single in the country. Violence has been trending down base of the attention were paying. The reason were going to washington, d. C. Is not just because of the violence thats occurring across this country. But with 300 shootings in schools in this nation. With 343 people died in our city last year because we have too many illegal guns, background checks need to be strengthnded and were going to washington, d. C. So that our young People Voices can be heard. Theyre in as much fear as any other town across this nation. Mayor were going to ride along with you today. You said 343 people died in your city. 300 of those were from gun violence. Just on tuesday, someone lost their lives. How important is this march in this moment in time . What it says is that one, background checks need to be improved. What it also says to us is that this is one of the most violent nations in the world. There are other nations that dont have this kind of violence. But because we have too many illegal guns and too many guns on the streets oufr cities and suburban communities, these laws have to be changed. Mayor, you accepted the invitation from the students going to washington, d. C. Why are you marching on washington today . Let me just say that much of the laws that need to be changed have to be changed at the national level. And the lobbying that takes place in washington, d. C. , around the nra, young people, we believe are the voices that can help influence those adults who sit in those seats that can change those laws. We believe that they hear these voices, that theyll change. So im going with them at their invitation, but im excited. Because we provided no taxpayers dollars involved at all. The dollars for it end. These are all volunteers. All volunteers. I have a call to action Group Representing 50 different groups around the city. Ceasefire over there led by erica bridgeport. One of the groups that also comes to city hall twice a month because they want to impact the reduction of violence in our city. Thats mayor of baltimore. Which bus are you going on by the way . That bus. Ill find you, well catch up with you and see you in a little bit. Let me show you guys real quick. These are some of the students right here coming out this way. These are one of the two buses that the mayor is going to be riding on. Well be along with the mayor. Well be along with the students from here in baltimore. All day long on msnbc. And the mayor has got some fans, guys, send it back to you. Okay. Its a road trip with Jacob Soberoff and company. Mariana is over the road trip thing i think you came in with a bunch of students from kentucky, is that right . We drove with them for ten hours to the Nations Capital but this morning im actually with a Nonprofit GroupSandy Hook Promises. Im here with nicole hockley, one of the cofounders, and nicole lost her son dialen in that Elementary School shooting in 2012. You were just talking about it in the previous hour. Nicole there was a sense when sandy hook happened that change would come about. It did not happen. Does this feel different right now . Well this is very different right now. But a lot of change did happen after sandy hook. Millions of people became involved in this movement. But didnt, that werent involved before. So sandy hook in my opinion was the start of this movement. Parkland is going to be the end of it, i hope. This is very different because its students advocating for themselves, theyre intelligent, theyre articulate. They know how to use social media to mobilize people across the entire country very quickly. Its got new energy and its really exciting. That social media element that wasnt so prevalent in 2012 as you state. And nicole, i know you went down to parkland after the shooting to console those students after they lost 17 people. What was that like for you . When i went down there, i really didnt know what i was walking into. I just wanted people to be aware that i was there if anyone wanted to speak with me or connect with people from newtown. It was incredibly hard. I was very triggered, which i hadnt anticipated, seeing the school, the hospital, the disaster center. And it made me incredibly ill after. But i wanted to be there and be of service. Be of service and thats why youre here today. Strengthen, ali and alex, by these students from parkland that have been able to articulate that passion into action on an historic day like today. Back to you guys. Its an historic day, its building all around us, i have to say, alex. I thought it would be historic, i thought it would be a moment in history. As we look at these pictures and listen to the sounds around us and turn around and see the people streaming, im proud to say im here on a day thats going down in history. Just watching it all, lets get it to Kerry Sanders, when i last spoke to you you were there by the stage where everything will be taking place, where are you now . Well weve moved up a little bit up pennsylvania avenue and just come along with me and what were going to do is sort of just see who we can bump into. And we have some students right here. Let me see your sign, first of all. Okay. So great mills is your school. Yes. Im curious, why do you think that you have the power to make change . And how old are you . I am 17 years old. And i think we have the power because all these people are here today, and weve obviously made commotion and they let us come here to voice our opinions and i think with the platform in parkland shooting and what happened at great mills, people are listening now. People can feel how we, how we feel now. And i think we should be continue, because we are the future and i think we can do something to change it. So youve got some of your colleagues here. You guys look like youre all on the soccer team. Im curious as you coalesce, not only as a team here, but with people across the country, why do you in some way feel connected to the kids of parkland florida who inspired this . Because we went through a shooting, too. It may not have been as catastrophic as parkland, because we only had two casualties, but. Can i stop you for a second . You said only does that mean that youve come to accept that School Shootings happen . In this day and age, its surreal. Our School Shooting to me, i felt so it was so surreal to me. Because you see so many School Shootings and you think, oh, no, thats terrible. But its so common now. Because we have so much its just bad. And so if i ask you after today, and i know you feel empowered, you see so many people here. After today, how do you keep this Going Forward . Just nonstop until the change happens. Change would be what . How would you say, how do you define change . Change gun laws. Because the reason were having all of these is because kids our age are having all the access to these weapons. And if they just keep getting the access and nothing is going to change. Then these things are just going to keep happening. Thank you very much. Ill let you guys go. I know youre trying to get a position closer to the stage. Appreciate talking with you. And sort of this we wrap up here. Maybe if i step out of the way we can read some of the signs that are coming through here. I should not be afraid to go to school. Enough, how many more . Fear has no place in school. Heres another one. Thoughts and prayers are not bulletproof. It just goes on and on. Everybody has their statements, when you read the signs and hear what children are saying out here, you get the sense that there is a belief not only that there is a problem, but that they believe that theres a solution. Alex . Yeah. Lets hope. Thats the part thats important. I spoke to some students from that school in maryland. Who kerry was talking to there. I spoke to them yesterday and they said this cant end here. This cant be about expect that on monday, somehow congress is going to wake up and do something about this. This has got to translate into votes. Its got to translate into action and i actually believe it will. I think about kerry, he spoke with survivors of great mills. Those it wasnt even a week ago. Those children join 187,000 survivors of School Shootings from primary and secondary schools across this country. Thats larger than this population of the city of ft. Lauderdale, florida. Thats how many kids are living with this think about how many times in your and my career as journalists weve encountered danger and how it affects you and how it makes you think about your kids and their safety. These kids have been in shootings, in great mills they had two students die. You know, this is the kind of thing that they dont get over. Of course this movement was sparked by School Shooting survivors. Enough is enough. In just a few minutes well be talking with the columbine shooting survivor about what it all means to her. More than one and a half million American Children are living in homes with loaded and unlocked firearms. Were going to explore that a little more.

And its a celebration of success that is going to come. It is marking the deaths of many, many students across america over the decades. Survivors of Mass Shootings have increased in number over the past generation and many of them are stepping into the political fray. They are demanding action. Joining us now is lane murdoch. A High School Student from ridgefield, connecticut, a town minutes away from sandy hook Elementary School. Sally kerrigan joins us as well, shes a survivor of the columbine high School Shooting. Lane organized the National Walkout on april 20th. Which is also the anniversary of the Mass Shootings at Columbine High School in 1999. Both of these people are activists against is gun violence, theyre participating in todays march. Thank you for both of you for being here. You played a role in the march 14th walkouts across the nation. What do those achieve . And what message are you trying to send . I think they send a wonderful symbolic representation to all the students across the country. I think right now is getting all that symbolism together and turning it into real change. I think theyre also just a great way to teach kids organizing empowerment. Other than just the day after and the day during. One thing that stood out to me is these were remarkable, march 14th were remarkable walkouts, april 20th will be, parents who really supported their kids doing so. There were still some kids in america punished for walking out. I want to remind you all. If that happens to your kids or you are a student and that happens to you, get in touch with us at msnbc and we will take care of that. We will go and talk about the fact that there is a First Amendment in this country, your children have the same godgiven right to protest than everybody else is given in this country. So thank you for these walkouts. Youre a columbine survivor. First of all the 19 years processing all of that. Is this something that ever leaves you . Never. And it always changes how i feel. For some reason. This goaround with the parkland shooting, thanks to these kids its given me a sense of hope that ive never felt before so i appreciate it. Im actually, optimistic for once. You guys are the beginning of it, right . This entire generation of students like lane or the parkland kids, they have all been in the post columbine era. That changed things for everybody in america and the world. They didnt snow such a thing. It was an anomaly. Thats with we were told. We were counseled, consoled, promised, that this would never happen again. What were you promised and how does appointed are you i imagine none of those promises came true. I think we were promised that the changes were you know, they looked at video games and music and Mental Health which is still in the news and still needs to be addressed. But they looked at those were the answers. And thats what we were told and we believed them. So i felt like thats what we were promised. We were told that was the answer and that it will never happen again. Lane, youre not willing to believe those promises any more . No. You guys are saying, we are the generation that is almost cured cancer and weve put people on the moof moon and weve done all of those things and yet this is a simple one that our generation hasnt been able to solve. So it sounds like you are going to. Our lives are at stake. Thats why im always appalled when people are like who are you to protest . Im like this is my life. You know learning to do lockdown drills since first grade. Living in fear. Americas children have grown up in fear. How can we not protest . Lane i think about how youve picked this state in a walkout in commemoration in honor of what happened at columbine. Youre going to lead the movement to get people out and walking out of their classrooms. Im going to assume you werent even alive. No, i was born in 2002. There you go. Look at the legacy that columbine has left. It is a
