March For Our Lives – Asheville March

Ever since Parkland, when we enter school we must acknowledge the fact that we might not come out alive. Fearing for our lives instead of pursuing our education is a widespread epidemic that we, the students, are ready to end once and for all.

We are organizing March For Our Lives in Asheville, NC, on March 24th starting at 11:00 AM at a location TBD, ending at Pack Square around the Vance Monument.

We can all agree that school shootings should not be an accepted part of life, and this March is a powerful step to ending gun violence.

Join us, be heard, and make a difference.
