New York, NY – On April 7, Aalayah Eastmond, an African America junior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, will join with New York high school students who have formed “Youth Over Guns” to announce a youth march against gun violence in New York on June 2.

The event will be announced at 10 a.m. at National Action Network (NAN) headquarters, 106 West 145th Street in Harlem. NAN Youth Huddle, Reverend Al Sharpton and other guests will be on hand.  
The march will center on gun violence in urban communities and highlight the loss of young lives to gun violence. This will be the first demonstration of its kind in New York history and will kick off New York State’s Gun Violence Awareness Month. New York is the only state in the nation that dedicates one month to gun violence awareness.
