The March for Our Lives is taking place across the country — and world — today, with scores of celebrities protesting alongside students and other citizens hoping to end America’s gun-violence epidemic. Ava DuVernay, Dwayne Johnson, Nick Offerman, Amy Poehler, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Reese Witherspoon are among the many showing their support today. Here’s what they’re saying:

On this day in 1965, young people marched from Selma to Montgomery for the right of all citizens to vote. They marched and they triumphed. Today’s young people march for safety against guns in our streets and our classrooms. We must make sure they win again. #MarchForOurLives pic.twitter.com/AnZjDB0Bw7

I’ll always stand for open dialogue and action – it’s the only way to ensure bad history doesn’t repeat itself. When it comes to protecting our children, all bets are off and the responsibility lies with us adults and lawmakers to listen and do. Very strong day. #MarchForOurLives pic.twitter.com/4gJ0QKdMYw
