Here Are All The Best Signs From The March For Our Lives
Millions took to the streets of major American cities on Saturday for the March For Our Lives, a nationwide protest organized by the Parkland, Florida students whose high school was the site of last month’s mass shooting.
The mass protests against gun violence come as the students of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School have emerged as prominent critics of U.S. lawmakers’ inability to pass gun control measures.
The nationwide march — which you can follow on livestream here — provided plenty of thought-inducing, witty and powerful signs. Here are the best:

And it wouldn’t be a teen protest in 2018 without plenty of memes:
