Sonora, CA — A group of residents gathered at Sonora’s Courthouse Park this morning in support of a National Student Walkout Against Gun Violence.
The rally began at 9:45am and included a minute of silence for each of the 17 students killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida last month. The mass shooting has created a renewed call for legislative discussions and action regarding gun control. Those gathered in Sonora were among the thousands taking place in similar type events across the country.
