Hundreds of Kentucky high school students joined a nationwide gun violence protest by traveling to the state Capitol for a rally in frigid weather.
The rally in Frankfort included a group of students from Marshall County High School, the site of a deadly school shooting in January. The students got a pass Wednesday (3/14) to leave school and travel more than three hours to the Capitol.
Marshall County student Cameron King urged the demonstrators to “keep screaming, keep yelling, keep fighting until you make a change, because we are the change.” King recalled fleeing the school during the January 23 shooting and hiding at a car dealership.
Students huddled near the front entrance, chanting and carrying signs that said “Never Again” and “Books Not Bullets.”
