All over the country today thousands of Americans expressed their demands for common sense gun reform in coordinated March for Our Lives rallies that took place in many cities throughout the nation, large and small. Organized entirely by young people, the movement has galvanized students, parents, educators, and concerned citizens who are in support of the reforms proposed by the students.

I was one of over 4,000 people that attended today’s event organized for Riverside, California. I must say, it was inspirational to watch these impassioned young people participating in the democratic process and exercising their Constitutional rights to freedoms of speech and assembly, to hear their emotion-packed speeches, and to watch them take the lead to work for positive social change.
