On Saturday, students and adults will gather to participate in March For Our Lives, coordinated demonstrations throughout the country calling for an end to gun violence. Park City students are raising their voices along with their peers and holding their own march. “Congress isn’t doing anything, so students are taking it into their own hands to send a message,” said Maya Levine, a junior at Park City High School who is the main organizer for Park City’s March For Our Lives. “We can’t have adults saying what we should and shouldn’t do when people are walking into schools almost every 63 hours and shooting children that are innocent,” Maya Levine, Park City High School That message is to demand increased restrictions on the purchase of guns so they do not end up in the wrong hands, Levine said. She said that the march is scheduled to begin at the top of Main Street at 10 a.m. Marchers will go north down the street until taking a right on 7th Street, leading them through the Mar- CAROLYN WEBBER/PARK RECORD From left: Maya Levine, Adam Herbst, Teia Swan, Serena Haas and Olivia Henry plan to participate in Saturday’s March For Our Lives and rally in Park City.

The route will end at the City Park Bandstand, where a rally will take place. Five Park City High School students and two student survivors from the shooting last month at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, are expected to participate during the rally, which is scheduled to last about 40 minutes. They will address the importance of gun legislation to prevent mass shootings and youth suicide. The Parkland students, sisters Logan and McKenna Pfahl, planned to visit Park City during their spring break. They are missing the March For Our Lives in Washington, D.C., where most of their classmates will be, but they still wanted to participate in the nationwide event. McKenna Pfahl, a freshman, said that it has been empowering to see students standing up and demanding change around the country. She said that the main message she wants to share with students here is, “I stand with you.” She said that having six of her friends — along with several other peers and teachers — killed in a mass school shooting means she has a responsibility to speak out. “I lost close friends, teammates, peo- ple I’ve done Brownies and Girl Scouts with ever since I was little,” she said. “Now they don’t have a voice, and I want to speak out so this doesn’t happen again.” Her sister Logan Pfahl, a sophomore, agreed, even if being an activist immediately after surviving a traumatic event proved difficult. She said she is excited to stand unified with students in Park City who are supporting a cause that she and her school helped start.
