CLEVELAND, Ohio-March For Our Lives Cleveland and Women's March Cleveland will host a June 11, 2022 noon rally and march on the steps of Cleveland City Hall in Cleveland, Ohio at 601 Lakeside Ave at Willard Park to march for our lives and for reproductive rights. The upcoming event is a local march to some 500 marches for our lives protests hosted to end gun violence planned by March For Our Lives National for June 11. This group was founded in 2018 by student survivors of a mass shooting at a school in Parkland, Florida that left 17 dead and 17 injured.

Also at issue is unprecedented gun violence as to the recent murders of 11 Black people at a grocery store in Buffalo New York and the killings of two teachers and 19 school children at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and violence against women and children in Cleveland and greater Cleveland. The activist organizers, mainly grassroots and largely Black organizers in the trenches in Cleveland, say they will also stress voting at the event, and education and necessary public policy changes such as responsible gun legislation, and criminal justice reform.
