LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Gun Control advocates returned to the State Capitol on Saturday, March 24 to celebrate the 2nd "March for our Lives."

The turnout was much smaller than last year, but organizers said, if that's how you judge their cause, you're missing their impact.

"From voter registration drives across this country; to the March for our Lives Tour, where we're talking and having conversations," Chris Kingsby said, organizer for March for our Lives.

Last year's march, not long after the Parkland school shooting, had hundreds—if not a thousand people. This version, a few dozen. But that didn't much bother the organizers.

"Now, we're doing the work to make sure that we can continue to see progress come from the work that we've started," Kingsby said.

A handful of students spoke and performed.

Jamee McAdoo, a senior at Central High School said gun reform and school safety are not often talked about at school because they're uncomfortable. But she and her peers find other ways to communicate.

"A lot of people think of poetry as, I don't know, maybe, 'roses are red, violets are blue,'" McAdoo said. "But, I like to make it more interactive and engaging to where I can pack a powerful message, but also make it entertaining."

"A revolution has arrived," middle school teacher Alyce Zottoli said, "and to those in charge of that revolution, know that your teachers are in awe of your work that you are doing."

Organizers point to the election of candidates who back gun reform and legislative victories at the state and national levels as proof that those steps down Capitol Avenue are taking them where they want to go.

"It's a progress," Zottoli said, "and that's what happens when you're in a movement. It takes time. Nothing happens overnight. But I think we're starting to see the fruit of our labor."
