Editor’s Note: East Millstone residents Martha and Peter March, Roboin Scudder and Patti Sofran attended the March 4 Our Lives in Washington, D.C. on March 24. Following are their impressions.
Patti Sofran: What sets this apart from the 2017 amazing Women’s March, which we also attended, was listening to the powerful and determined voices of teenagers who are very determined to be the drivers of change in legislative gun control reform. As baby boomers (who revolutionized civil rights and women’s rights in the 1960s) we did not have the impact on gun control legislation. We joined the March for Your Life in D.C. to hear the voice of teenagers, to mourn with them, and show support of their goals. These students know the power behind the vote and won’t rest until assault rifles are illegal. Joining 800,000 marchers was an exhilarating and energizing experience.
