New York area students join nationwide walkout to protest gun violence
The protests marked the one-month mark since 17 people were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
"So many American students, led by the fearless, articulate survivors of Parkland, are standing up, sharing their stories and calling for change", Senator Hirono said. It was a bomb threat, just days later, at Woodside Elementary School in nearby Topsham. "I am devastated. Sick to my stomach", said Israel on February 22. "And for me, it became very real, and very quick and very sudden".
"If Empathy Week impacts one person, if (Wednesday's events) honoring the Parkland victims honors one person, then you've done it all", she said.
His mother, Megan Blackman, told CNN she wasn't surprised by her son's actions.
Sandberg recalled that although she experienced deep pain on losing her husband, but she can not even imagine the trauma that parents go through when their child goes to school in the morning but does not return because of a massacre. "And every moment we wait, we risk losing more lives", Barrington said. "So we're finally saying that enough is enough. We just want to graduate", as they marched. No one here but me.
Hundreds of students at Little Rock's Central High School walked out of class Wednesday in a show of solidarity with young people conducting similar demonstrations at schools across the nation and outside the White House. Around them, school officials were on guard with about a dozen police officers on hand to keep watch.
When class started at 9:25 a.m. all 313 students received 17 post-its to write their uplifting notes - 14 to put on student lockers and another three to give to teachers.
"No more thoughts! No more prayers!"
Students across Middle Tennessee and across the country participated in the National School Walkout.
At MNPS, we respect the right of our students to advocate for causes that are important to them. "The point of today was to show that students can make a change". The idea is to create a more understanding environment in school, discourage bullying and to engender compassion and kindness among students. "It's easier for me to buy guns than it is for me to buy cigarettes".

At a high school in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, students marched to the football field and assembled in a heart formation to pay tribute to the victims.
"These issues are real", his brother, Mikeal, said, "and people need to act on them".
"There's going to be like six people watching this-hopefully", he said. "But to an extent".
Yesterday was National School Walkout Day in the US.
Following the discussion, Principal Moccia was already looking to change school policy.
"It's been going around the school since the Florida shooting", she said. In 2014, the school was the site of a mass killing, when a student shot four students before turning the gun on himself.
Many of my peers and I walked out to remember the unimaginable tragedy in Parkland.
Students say that they don't expect their activism will end with these walkouts.
Police said they were working to identify who was responsible.
