Ann Arbor area high school students, friends and supporters filled streets to call for action on gun violence March 24.

The demonstrators gathered at Pioneer High School and marched along main city streets, echoing the sentiments of their peers nationwide. The action was one in a series that followed a rampage that killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.

A movement called “National School Walkout” is promoting another action on April 20.
