From Seattle to California, thousands of students walked out of their classrooms in a united front calling stricter gun laws and immediate action from the government. The 17-minute walkout represented one minute for every life taken at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, CNN reports.

Here are some of many of the moving messages from the day. 

Donald Trump, your move.
