More than 1,000 people are heading to Florida's state capital to rally for gun control as part of the activist push spurred by a deadly high school shooting in Parkland, Fla.

People on Monday loaded onto multiple buses in Orlando to travel to Tallahassee to demand that lawmakers take action on gun control, Fox 35 reported.

Several students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — where a former student is charged in the deaths of 17 people — are also heading to the capital, the publication reported.

The group is expected to go to Florida Senate committee meetings and to rally in the capital.

The demonstration is being led by Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, a Democratic candidate for Florida governor.

Students who survived the shooting have become vocal advocates for gun control, demanding that lawmakers take action to prevent school shootings.

Last week, students from Stoneman Douglas High traveled to Florida's capital to meet with lawmakers and rally for new gun laws.

The Florida House of Representatives last week rejected a motion to consider a bill to ban assault rifles and large capacity magazines by a 36-71 vote.
