Virtual March for Our Lives

On March 24th, DAGR will stage a VIRTUAL MARCH on their Face Book and Twitter accounts with the hashtag #MarchForOurLives and #MarchForOurLivesGreece asking members and friends to post their selfies with signs they would carry in an actual March. The selfies can also be shared to the March For Our Lives Facebook page. Although Democrats Abroad Greece enthusiastically supports the actual March For Our Lives, because the march is set globally for the day before THE MAJOR NATIONAL public holiday of Greek Independence and because of the patriotic marches and security issues both on March 24th and March 25th, DAGR will only stage the virtual march.

Democrats Abroad Greece Chairman Karen Lee stated: "We're turning our attention from grief to honoring the dead, demanding effective political action to achieve common-sense gun regulation in the US." She added "This is an American problem that will require action by US politicians, but we welcome any of our friends here who want to show their support for our effort."

For those that feel strongly about a physical presence concerning the issue of gun control, please make every effort to join us at 8 pm March 14th on the steps of Syntagma Square to honor all the victims of mass school shootings and draw attention to improved gun regulation in the US.
