BRONX BOROUGH PRESIDENT DIAZ TO SEND OFF STUDENTS TO THE ‘MARCH FOR OUR LIVES’ AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE

UsaNewsOnline.Com Desk, New York : On Saturday, March 24, 2018, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. will send off four buses of Bronx high school students to the “March for Our Lives” against gun violence in Washington, D.C.

Borough President Diaz was able to secure four buses for the students, who come from DreamYard Preparatory High School, The DreamYard Art Center, The Bronx Center for Science and Mathematics, Cornerstone Academy for Social Action and The Pelham Academy for Academics and Community Engagement, to make the trip.

The sendoff will take place outside of The Bronx County Building, 851 Grand Concourse, The Bronx. The buses will arrive at 5:45 a.m., with a scheduled departure at 6:00 a.m.

March For Our Lives is created by, inspired by, and led by students across the country who will no longer risk their lives waiting for someone else to take action to stop the epidemic of mass school shootings that has become all too familiar. In the tragic wake of the seventeen lives brutally cut short in Florida, politicians are telling us that now is not the time to talk about guns. March For Our Lives believes the time is now. 

On March 24, the kids and families of March For Our Lives will take to the streets of Washington, D.C. to demand that their lives and safety become a priority. Press Release.
