Students from Montgomery County, Maryland, among others, staged a silent protest in favor of gun reform in front of the White House in Washington DC on March 14.

Students across the US and internationally staged a walkout on Wednesday in remembrance of the victims of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, which happened one month previously.

At 10am local time in each US location, students walked out of their classrooms and stood in silence for 17 minutes in honor of the 17 people who lost their lives at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14. The walkout was organized by Women’s March Youth Empower. Credit: The Hatcher Group via Storyful
