La Crosse students speak out at March for Our Lives demonstration
Perhaps one of the most unprecedented speech moments in American history came when Emma González took the stage and stood silent, holding back tears, for six minutes and 20 seconds-the exact amount of time it took for the Parkland shooter to gun down 17 people at her high school last month. We are not supposed to as teachers, especially in high school, to ever touch our students.
However, the number of people content with that is dwindling.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student David Hogg speaks during the March for Our Lives Rally in Washington, DC on March 24, 2018. The Parkland shooting is now the third deadliest school shooting in the United States. "We can not allow one more child to be shot at school". This has been the catch in the past; every time we've reached this point, the NRA and its allies have convinced lawmakers their best chance at re-election is to wait out the storm, then do nothing at all to prevent the next wave of killings. Our children and teachers are dying. While the support for this movement is fantastic and should be praised, we must ask ourselves where this support was during the Black Lives Matter movement.
"Welcome to the revolution", said Cameron Kasky, who was the first student speaker at the massive March for Our Lives in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.
The Echo is one hundred per cent locally owned and one hundred per cent independent.
According to her data 90 percent of the crowd at the gun control protest was made up of adults. Eventually the crowd of wet signs, banners and many umbrellas began snaking its way down Elm street to LeBauer Park.

Facebook cuts ties to data brokers in blow to targeted ads
You have to verify your identity several times and be emailed "your personal archive" to the address associated with your account. The crisis also threatens the Silicon Valley tech industry whose business model revolves around data collected on internet users.
While Barnard sent a college-wide on March 5 referencing the Parkland shooting and other recent shootings and affirming its ongoing commitment to "preparing for, responding to, and mitigating emergencies affecting our campus community", including offering active shooter safety training for students, Columbia has sent no such University-wide email. Every day, Planned Parenthood targets this generation in school and online to trap us in their predatory business cycle.
Alicia Goodman holds her sign at the March for Our Lives in Washington D.C.
"There's a lot of different groups that are targeting gun violence in different ways, but they're all saying the same thing", she said. "They're going into school and I really worry for them", Laurie, a mom from Philadelphia, told ABC News as she arrived in Washington, D.C., this morning. "I am sick and exhausted of gun violence". The United States had a notoriously low midterm voter turnout in 2014 of only 37 percent of eligible voters casting a ballot. "I believe rallies such as this with the pressure keeping up will lead to change in gun control", he said. About 850,000 people attended the D.C. rally.
I look forward to your leadership so "shake our windows and rattle our walls" and God, I hope we can yet sing together "the times, they are a changin".
Officials in Chicago counted 85,000 demonstrators, and the march in Los Angeles brought out another 55,000 people.
Help us to keep growing with your vision and your energy and your passion and your ongoing commitment of what it means to live that life that we aspired to those many years ago when we called on "senators and congressmen please heed the call". but we gave up when wealth increasingly segregated us and we despoiled the Earth increasingly and our souls.
