Brooklyn students to walk out of school Wednesday to protest gun violence
#Enough! BP Adams backs National School Walkout
Enough is enough: Students at roughly two dozen schools in Brooklyn are joining the National School Walkout planned for this Wednesday, March 14, the one-month anniversary of the shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
The 10 a.m., 17-minute walkout honors the 17 lives lost during the latest school massacre. Hundreds of thousands of students across the country are walking out to urge Congress to take action and pass federal gun reform legislation.
In Brooklyn, students from both public and private elementary, middle and high schools will be marching, as well as students from Brooklyn Law School.
