On Saturday, March 24, people will march all over the country to call for action to end school shootings in the wake of the rampage in Parkland, Florida last month.
In New York, the march will start at 72nd Street and Central Park West and wind through the city to 43rd and 6th. Organizers are asking people to get to the starting area by 10 a.m. Speeches will start there at 11.
