house. You see there on those red markers everywhere people will be marching today. So starting here at noon, thousands, hundreds of thousands, will be in washington to protest against gun violence. This is the march for our lives rally. It is all happening just months rather weeks after that deadly shooting in parkl d parkland, florida and now survivors are leading the call for stricter gun control. Their concerns echoed around the world. Adults are telling us to use common sense when driving, with alcohol and drugs. And i really do not see the common sense in gun laws. Gun violence impacts our lives and that were no longer going to wait for adults to take action on it. Some of us cant vote yet, but well still hold our officials accountable. Were fighting for our lives as much as anyone else. There has to be something done about this. Every day i get up and i go to school wondering if im going to have a School Shooting at my school any day. We have a team of correspondents with students as they prepare to rally against gun violence. Well start with polo sandoval, he is traveling with students and parents from pittsburgh to washington. Polo, they have been they started i guess at 3 00 a. M. This morning getting closer to the capital now. Reporter yeah, bright and early too. They have been on the road for the last several hours. They are d. C. Bound aboard one of four buses that left pittsburgh early this morning headed to washington, d. C. These are 250 young men and women and adult leaders of the community who not only are passionate about the issue of gun violence, but have also experienced it first hand including Glenn Grayson jr. Who im joined by. Gun violence has hit Close To Home for you with the loss of your brother. Tell me about that. Yes, my brother was a freshman at hampton university. He came home for the first time
like most students do, you know, do their laundry, say hello to their parents. He went to a party at cal u university during their homecoming time and a guy shot through the party, he killed my brother. He didnt know him, never met him. But hes not here today so im here as a lead organizer and his brother to make sure his memory is not in vain. Reporter clearly you feel more needs to be done. Do you think were seeing some progress particularly after parkland . Yes, i mean the other day somebody asked is this the actual change. And i said that, you know, rosa parks wasnt the only person to sit down when she took a stand, it was people like on this bus. So there are people before us and after us, but i think were at a movement where people are tired and enough is enough and we have to make that change and im brought to stand with youth
washington, thank you so much. We had a Student Rallier on earlier who said that every generation has an event that changes life as they know it. Vietnam, september 11th, and she said for these students, it is the state of School Shootings including of course the one in parkland, florida. And our interview with another Student Organizer is coming up.

There is a live shot there in washington of some of the people, just some of them, who are already gathering 3 1 2 almost 4 hours early for the march here in washington, d. C. This march for our lives. We had one of the gals on earlier, a senior in high school who will be marching today. And she said if they are not
going to listen to our voice, they will listen to our vote. And at the end of the day, she said it matters to them so much because they watched in Horror On February 14th what happened in parkland. And as they felt for those students, dhee nthey could not internalize that they could be them as well. So that is prompting so many people to come out nep dont wa. They want to support all the parkland students who have traveled to be here in d. C. And of course were talking about what is happening here. This is expected to be the largest of these rallies, but there are more than 800 planned around the world. Here is the global map. All under the banner of march for our lives. Of course this is a movement that started after the shooting on the 14th Of February at parkland high school. Global support this morning youre seeing dozens of people joined one of the Florida Shooting survivors for a demonstration as well. Here is video of that. Also want to show you what was going on in australia. Teenagers Holding Signs of support. And other rallies are planning in canada, south america, even in china. And just a bit ago we spoke to that Student Organizer about how she plans to keep this momentum going. For High School Students specifically, it is terrifying. It is incredibly hitting Close To Home because we see these students in florida and we see our classmates. We see our friends. We see ourselves. And we are acutely terrified. And so we have to stand up. So i understand that you wanted to start the dmv chapter of students demand action, you started with just a few students and then what happened . We had ten people in my living room and then a week later we had 30 and we couldnt fit in my living room. And a week later, 150 and we were doing Conference Calls because we couldnt meet in
person. It blew up incredibly quickly. So what kind of conversations do you have when you get together . Its funny, because it will vary from what are you doing in your schools, what have you organized, what is our next initiative, to how are we going to get our classmates registered to vote, sotowhto what are we for baracprom. And we are kids and we decided to organize around this issue. And so you talked about Voter Registration as an important element of this movement. Every cycle people ask when are you think why people going to move the needle for a candidate, for an election. And this is a midterm, so less than expected for president ial election. Why will this be different . Well, young people are 30 of the american electorate and were only getting bigger. Were now the biggest Generation Bloc that is alive today. So we have the power to change
kr outcomes. The question is will we turn out. And i think this is the turning point. Every generation needs a reason to show up at the polls. For our generation, were called the mass shooting generation. Parkland will be that reason. Again a live picture here of the folks gathering in washington. Many of them are from parkland and their counterparts are also gathering. Well take you to parkland, florida, talk to someone who is there. And still trying to reconcile what happened. And what they are doing today specifically to make sure it didnt happen again. Stay close. My gums are irritated. I dont have to worry about that, do i . Actually, you do.

Organizers estimate up to a half million, maybe more, will rally in washington today. And cnns Caylee Tar Hung Ka joining from us parkland where many say this is what finally tipped them off, the killing of 17 people there on february 14. We can hear the music behind you. The event is scheduled to start in a few hours. But they are really putting an action behind their protest, arent they. Reporter and people are continuing to flow in. The program set to start in about an hour and a half. But it is hard to take a few steps in pine trails park without seeing a sign like this one, ask me about voting. Six organizations on site today to help people here register to vote. And you are spearheading the
effort. What is the goal for you today . The goal is to get as many people registered or preren preregistered to vote. We want change and the best way do this is to vote. Reporter tell me about the conversations youre having with your classmates. You are 15. You cant vote tomorrow, but you can vote in 2020. What conversations are you having about the responsibility you feel . So the conversations were having is were so passionate about this and we they ever wha never never want to happen gwenn. Again. People say where can i go, i dont want this to happen again. And i tell them. Reporter what impact do you think first time voters like some of your peers can have on an election . I think a lot of times 18 to 25yearolds dont vote. But if we can change that and have the 18 to 25yearolds
vote, question change elections. Reporter and you will be speaking on this stage in a little bit. What will your message be to the proud . My message is to get 17 other people to vote. Vote for the people who cant. And so we dont have to lose another 17 ever again. Reporter what do you think we can expect in terms of turnout here for this march that will visit your high school and return here to this park . Are so i just spoke to someone and they said around 35,000 people that will march with us and should hear the rally. So a huge impact. Reporter youve been a part of organizing today. How does that make you feel when you recognize the possibility that that many people could turn out to support you, your school and this community . Im speechless. But well continue this movement and i think by voting and sending out reminders to vote after this march again, well be speechless at midterm elections again. Reporter today is not the
end, the beginning for you all. Intere. Exactly. One of the young people speaking there. Kaylee hartung, thank you. So lets talk with our panel. We have a security analyst, and also from the weekly standard, and also our political commentator and also National Executive director of the College Republican national committee. Thank you everybody for being here. So you can see there they are putting action behind this saying listen, right now you will hear our voice. Give us a little bit of time and you will hear our vote. Any indication that congress is actually listening and paying attention to what is coming down the pipeline here . I think for republicans we should be very concerned. I mean, you think about the demographics that are impacted by this, that demographic doesnt typically vote for republicans. And if there is a reason, if there is enough encouragement for them to mobilize and actualize their pain, their frustration, that is not a very good thing for republicans at
all. So i think republicans should take heed of their critiques and perhaps attempt to do something to move the needle forward on this. And Historically Gun Rights Advocates have been single issue voters. It is the Gun Control Advocates who have not been single issue voters. And if this generation looks first at your position on Back Ground Checks and minimums to purchase, that could certainly change a lot of these seats. Youre right. And i think republicans should already be nervous looking at all of the elections, special elections since donald trump became president. It hasnt been good for republicans at all. But to me, there has been a lot of extremism on this issue and why cant people have some reasonable positions, right, more Back Ground Checks, maybe not every single gun needs to be available to every single person. But i do think that what people are worried about and the single issue voters have been worried
about, is in the first step to getting rid of guns entirely. And i think that some of them are a little bit of a conspiracy theorist, but a fair point. I think a lot of Gun Control Advocates, they do eventually want to get rid and make all guns illegal. And that is why so many of the voters are nervous about any laws even some that are reasonable, they are worried is that the first step to getting rid of guns and the Second Amendment entirely. A lot of people at the center of the conversation who are Making Decisions who say they should get rid of all guns. I think a lot of people who and gus let me get you to weigh in on this who are at least part of the conversation influential members say that they respect the Second Amendment. However, weapons of war as they characterize them should not be made available to people for protecting their family or protecting their home. There your perspective, do you what did you see . Well, sure, look, inpoliticians should really take heed of what is going on
here. Let it serve as a cautionary tale if they have not learned from what happened in 2012 originally where the youth vote was effectively what decided the president ial election in many states. And really what helped decide the president ial election in many states in 2016. So look, if you are not looking at the Bigger Picture here and seeing that there needs to be some sort of Reforms Institutesed i know the house recently passed some bills. There is action being taken. These politicians should really be looking at this incoming youth vote, young people that are signing up to vote especially in the midterms, and truly taking a step forward to making something happen.
