STORY SUMMARY

WAIMEA, Hawaii - Despite the rain, a big crowd hit the street in Waimea as part of a nation-wide "student-led gun control protest".

(BIVN) – A March For Our Lives event was held Saturday in Waimea, in support of similar student-led demonstrations held across the country on the same day.

Hundreds donned rain gear and opened an umbrella in preparation for a day of wet weather. The undaunted students and inspired adults were not deterred by the conditions.

Riley Herendeen, a senior at Parker School, was the primary organizer of the march, which was billed as a “student-led gun control protest”, following the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Events were also scheduled for Hilo and Kona.
