In response to several recent national mass shootings, including one that left 19 students and two teachers dead at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde Texas, hundreds of protesters gathered at Pearson Park in Anaheim on Saturday calling for measures to curb gun violence. The Orange County march was one of more than 450 national demonstrations by March For Our Lives, a nonprofit, youth-led movement that promotes  civic engagement, education and action to eliminate gun violence. “We’re standing up today to our elected officials with one message: Congress needs to do more to finally end the epidemic of gun violence in this country,” Mendez said before the noon march. Nearly 300 people surrounded Mendez as she rallied attendees followed by members from the Orange County community ranging from teachers, students and other grassroot organizers spoke against gun laws and urged the need for reform.
