OK, so this march on Washington is happening--
March 24.
--March 24.
Tell everyone what is happening exactly.
We're going to march on Washington.
OK.
[LAUGHTER]
Speaking of which, we have some product placement for you.
Oh.
What?
We made shirts, you guys.
What?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
So if you can't make it with us, you can wear it with us.
All right.
You know, the thing that inspired us to create the march
was people saying, you are all talking about gun control,
and this is not the time to talk about gun control.
This is the time to grieve, a time to mourn.
And we understand that.
And we said, now might not be the time
to talk about gun control.
Here's the time to talk about gun control--
March 24.
We are going to have so many people in Washington, DC.
So many cities have created their own branch of March
for Our Lives.
They've all been reaching out to us.
They've all been not reaching out to us
and taking it into their own hands.
It's amazing the universal support we've gotten.
I mean, it's proof that this isn't red and blue.
This isn't generation versus generation.
This is the 97% of people who believe that we need
to take steps here together.
Yeah, it's got nothing to do with what side you're on.
Exactly.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I think that is the most important thing,
because it really is such a divisive issue.
I mean, people get so scared that guns
are going to be taken away.
And that is not what you're talking about.
You just need more regulations.
And I think no matter what side you're on,
the fact that these young people are taking such a stand
and especially coming out of being in that situation
and taking your energy--
and like you said, that's how you're coping with it.
You are grieving, but you're also
using your activism and your voices,
which is so important for young people to do.
It is the best thing you could possibly be doing.
[APPLAUSE]
So we want to help.
So Shutterfly, we've been partnering for years.
And they help students in schools.
And when they heard that I was going to be talking to you,
they want to make a donation to the march.
They want to give you $50,000 to help.
So that's another 50,000.
And--
[APPLAUSE]
We are going to--
we're going to keep going.
We encourage you to keep going.
And all these young people out there,
if you can't get to Washington, organize your own march
in your own town.
And make your voices heard, because that's the way
change is made, by your voices.
