Celebrities all across the nation walked side by side with children and families as part of the March for Our Lives movement on Saturday.
Marchers held demonstrations in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago and hundreds of other cities in protest of gun violence and mass shootings, such as the Feb 14. massacre at a high school in Parkland, Florida, which left 17 people dead.
Prior to the marches, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, Cher and countless others voiced their support for the movement. Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift and George and Amal Clooney have also donated thousands to the cause.

I’ll always stand for open dialogue and action – it’s the only way to ensure bad history doesn’t repeat itself. When it comes to protecting our children, all bets are off and the responsibility lies with us adults and lawmakers to listen and do. Very strong day. #MarchForOurLivespic.twitter.com/4gJ0QKdMYw
