National Die-in Day is the latest in a series of 2018 protests that hope to inspire increased gun control laws. Since the February 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, there have been March For Our Lives events, National School Walkouts, and more. 。
In May, protestors and student activists from Parkland held a memorable die-in in a Publix supermarket in Florida to address the company's support of National Rifle Association-endorsed political candidates. 。
