Hundreds of students holding signs and chanting for gun reform walked out of Dunwoody High School Wednesday morning.
Many of the students told Channel 2’s Audrey Washington that they want change so they could feel safer at school.
Officials allowed the students to peacefully protest at the school. Teachers and security were there with the students.
Some students used bullhorns to shout things like, “all these guns have got to go,” and “we want to be safe.”
“Yes, we can change the laws, and yes, we can change this country, and yes, we can change our future,” one student shouted.
Parents generally supported the walkout.
“Gun violence prevention is really what this is all about,” said parent Sheila Levy. “I love that the kids are getting their voices and that their voices matter.”
