Show Caption Hide Caption March for Our Lives 'isn’t a political rally' More than 1 million people are expected to attend the March for Our Lives in Washington D.C. hoping for changes to gun regulations and school safety.

Five survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting who have helped organize Saturday's March for Our Lives gun control demonstration are featured on the newest cover of Time magazine.

On the cover, students-turned-activists Jaclyn Corin, Emma González, David Hogg, Cameron Kasky and Alex Wind stand defiantly with the headline "ENOUGH." written in all caps across the page.

"On the surface, they’re not so different from previous generations of idealistic teenagers who set out to change the world, only to find it is not so easy," Time reported. "Yet over the past month, these students have become the central organizers of what may turn out to be the most powerful grassroots gun-reform movement in nearly two decades. For much of the rest of the country, numbed and depressed by repeated mass shootings, the question has become, Can these kids actually do it?"

The students face an uphill in battle in a nation of more than 300 million guns where gun rights groups have successfully fought back most gun control efforts for the last 20 years.

Observers wonder if the movement begun by the Parkland students will prove more successful than the Million Mom March in 2000. With 750,000 people, it was the largest gun control rally in history but rather than the start of a successful gun control campaign it heralded a period of dramatic expansion of Second Amendment rights.
