Rowan Clark, 13, eighth grader at Frost Middle School, Fairfax; and Ellie D’Alessandro, 19, of Fairfax, 2016 graduate of W.T. Woodson High School, participated in Saturday’s March for Our Lives.
Rowan said: “I am tired of having to plan an escape route. As children and young people, it’s come to the point where we have to know our laws and read the bills because they have failed us.”
Added D’Alessandro: “An AR-15 is meant for war. We shouldn’t be able to buy them. There is no reason for civilians to have these military weapons.”
