CLEVELAND -- On Wednesday, thousands of students across the country will stage walkouts as a part of a nationwide event.
The National School Walkout is intended to both honor the 17 victims of the February shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. and protest gun violence.
WKYC will be live on the scene locally, streaming live footage from the event, with more than 30 schools in the Northeast Ohio area expected to participate. Follow along here for live Snapchat posts from the event and click here for everything you need to know about the National School Walkout.
