Spear-headed by freshmen Ayla Ridwan and Emma Mughal, the march began at the County Courthouse with introductory remarks by Town of Friday Harbor Mayor Farhad Ghatan followed by brief presentations from a number of students. VIDEO posted at the bottom of this page.
The students, brightly clad in orange, lead the march past the middle and high schools, continued down Spring Street, up Second Street back to the San Juan County Courthouse. They gathered on the steps and chanted "Enough is Enough" as the rest of the marchers arrived.
