**Students at Meridian HS proceeded to walk out the front doors to gather down at the football field. The procession began at noon today.**

**Near the field, the school’s recently-planted sustainable farming project could be seen as the crowd continued down to the field.**

**The students brought hand-made posters with messages like “Protect Children, Not Guns” and “I Can’t Buy a Kinder Egg but I Can Buy an AR-15.”**

**Among the speakers were Delegate Marcus Simon (D) and Victoria Virasingh (D), who is running in the primary this year for District 8.**

**Student organizers took time to make stirring remarks, underscoring that “Enough is enough.”**

**A “die-in” took place at the end of the protest, lasting 213 seconds. Each second represented a mass shooting that took place this year.**
