This past weekend, the March for Our Lives rallies ignited a wave of activism across numerous small towns, drawing attention to the urgent need for comprehensive gun reform. While many may have seen the impressive crowds in larger cities, the heartwarming images from these smaller gatherings are sure to uplift your spirit. From Laramie, Wyoming, to Ashland, Ohio, residents took to the streets to express their views, even when it meant standing against the grain.
As the events unfolded, cultural writer Lisa Bennett reached out on social media for images of marches that may not have received national coverage. “Did you witness a rally that didn’t get much media attention?” she inquired. “I would love to see photos or hear your stories.” The response was overwhelming, showcasing everything from solitary protests to spirited gatherings of up to 2,000 people. A special shout-out goes to the spirited marchers in Idaho, who braved chilly snow and rain, and to those in Brunswick, Maine, who marched through four inches of snow.
In Great Falls, New Jersey, around 100 residents gathered for a rally that was organized just a few days prior. Local high school students often took the helm as speakers, which is a truly commendable development. Notably, even in traditionally conservative regions, such as Wyoming—one of the most heavily armed states in the U.S.—the turnout was impressive. In Lewiston, Idaho, where protests are typically frowned upon, around 30,000 people showed up to voice their opinions, demonstrating a significant shift in community attitudes.
The youthful energy was palpable, especially in New Orleans, where teenagers and adults joined hands to advocate for change. One particularly inspiring image showed a young woman conducting her own solitary protest while her classmates were busy preparing for prom.
These rallies left many feeling hopeful and grateful to all the marchers who participated.
