We are proud of the youth, clergy, and parishioners who added their voice to the March for Our Lives Movement. Over 80 Episcopalians in the Diocese of Louisiana participated in rallies held on March 24 in Baton Rouge and New Orleans to demand the passing of common sense gun legislation and to put an end to the senseless deaths of children in school shootings.
March for Our Lives was a student-led demonstration held in Washington D.C. with over 800 sibling marches across the world, including several locations in Louisiana. The march was organized after the mass shooting that occurred on February 14, 2018, at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida.
