Sean Thomas6/19Samantha, 25 (D.C. resident): “It’s ridiculous how much gun violence there is. Generally, people just want the same thing — they want to live with their family, be happy and enjoy life. It’s simple. It means a lot that people are showing up and fighting for a better future.”

Jada: "It doesn't make any sense that people are putting guns over lives. It's old. It's tired. It's time for a change."
Jayla: "People always want change but you have to argue for your change. You have to fight for your change, and that's what we're trying to do here. It's time for change."
Sean Thomas18/19Kenny Wynn, 15: "I'm just really excited that people are no longer being quiet. I love this. I love change. I love getting out there and making change because I know there are people who are too scared to do it, but this is something that really needs to get done and we are getting it done. This is the starting point of something huge."
