Coinciding with the March for Our Lives National School Walkout, Borough President Eric Adams will host a rally on Wednesday, March 14 at the Prospect Park Bandshell.
The rally – which will take place the same day students across the country are planning a 17-minute walkout of schools in honor of the 17 lives lost during the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida on February 14 – will take place from 2 to 5 p.m.
At the rally, which will take place mostly after school hours, participants “will call and write legislators, learn how to speak truth to power, and build a Students’ Bill of Rights,” according to the event’s Facebook page.
