Survivors of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, visited Chicago Public Schools students Saturday to brainstorm ideas for next weekend’s March for Our Lives demonstration in Chicago.

The students’ meeting followed a week of walkouts at schools across the country, as teenage organizers continue their push for more strict gun control measures.

Zeif said he feels the pain of the students in Chicago, calling it “heartbreaking to know they’ve been feeling this pain and fear for nearly their whole lives.” He said he hopes stronger gun control can curb that pain and fear.

“My personal goal for this is so that my younger brother, and even younger brother, and my kids and their kids, can go to school without having to worry for their lives,” Zeif said. “I want us to complete this campaign of gun reform and remove gun violence from our country so that no one has to go through what we’ve gone through.”

Organizers are expecting up to 30,000 people to take part in Chicago’s March for Our Lives starting at 11 a.m. March 24 at Union Park, one of dozens of marches planned across the country. - Chicago Sun Times
