On Saturday, March 24, community members from Fernandina Beach, FL, and surrounding areas, will gather for a “sibling march” as part of the March for Our Lives Movement. This march is one of hundreds happening around the country, planned by students and survivors of gun violence in communities big and small, in all 50 states. The national day of action will focus on calling for lawmakers to make students’ lives and safety a priority; and to pass common-sense gun safety legislation.
“When I saw the courageous Parkland Student Survivors galvanizing into action, and saying ‘Never Again’ I had to do something. I had to add my voice to theirs; and encourage others to join me.” said Christine-Anne Platel, Organizer of ‘March For Our Lives Amelia Island’ and Founder of ‘March For Our Lives Support Group, Amelia Island’ on Facebook. “I was tired of listening to politicians offering their ‘thoughts and prayers’ and then doing absolutely nothing. I’m excited to hear our inspiring Speakers, and to join with the collective voice and energy of marchers across the nation, and in other countries too.”
