Students at many schools across Colorado are expected to join others across the country Wednesday morning in protesting school gun violence by walking out of their schools—many for 17 minutes to honor the victims of the shooting at a high school in Florida.
Most of the Colorado walkouts will happen at 10 a.m., though some of the protests will differ by school district or school.
The protests are expected to kick off a wave of similar protests planned in coming weeks—including the March for Our Lives in Washington D.C. scheduled for March 24, and another round of walkouts scheduled for April 20, the anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting.
