Democratic Lawmakers spotted at 'March for Our Lives' rallies across US
Democratic lawmakers turned out in force on Saturday as hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered in cities across the country to call for an end to gun violence.
At "March for Our Lives" rallies across the U.S., congressional Democrats joined in calls demanding swift action on gun control more than a month after a deadly school shooting in Parkland, Fla., lent momentum to the debate over firearms.
During stops in Boston, Springfield and Worcester, Mass., Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) marched with students and documented the rallies on her Twitter account.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) joined protesters on Saturday in Washington, the epicenter of the rallies, where he told The Hill that attendance topped that of President Trump's inauguration.
"I can tell you for sure, it's larger than the Trump inauguration."
