Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande Sing For Gun Reform At March For Our Lives

Survivors of the deadly Stoneman Douglas high school shooting rallied in D.C.

In the aftermath of the devastating mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School, youth activists worldwide are demonstrating today to demand an end to gun violence in our schools and communities.

Since the February shooting that claimed the lives of 17 students and faculty, survivors from the Parkland, Florida, high school have galvanized a nationwide movement calling for gun reform. These students, including out activist Emma González, led the charge at the cornerstone March For Our Lives rally in Washington, D.C.

An estimated 500,000 protesters flooded Pennsylvania Avenue stretching from the main stage near the Capitol building to the White House.

Interspersed with powerful speeches like the largely silent one from González were passionate live performances by Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Common, Andra Day, Vic Mensa, Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Dear Evan Hansen's Ben Platt.

Highlights included Lovato's “Skyscraper,” Cyrus' "The Climb," Day's "Rise Up," Hudson's “The Times They Are A-Changin’” finale, and Platt's “Found/Tonight” mashup with Miranda.

"Thank you so much for fighting for change and for love and safety and for our future," Grande told the crowd following her performance of "Be Alright."

A group of Stoneman Douglas survivors also sang their inspirational original song "Shine," dedicated to anyone who has been affected by gun violence.

MTV, in partnership with NAACP Youth and College Division and local youth organizations, provided 17 buses to transport young people to the D.C. march from communities around the country affected by gun violence. The 17 buses represent the lives lost in the Parkland shooting and the more than 17 young lives lost to gun violence every day.

Celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Jimmy Fallon, The Roots, Yara Shahidi, Nick Cannon, Carmelo Anthony, Pusha T, Halsey, and Chloe x Halle have joined forces with MTV and NAACP to offer public support and encouragement to those participating in the D.C. march.

“Once again young people are at the forefront of driving change,” said MTV president Chris McCarthy in a statement, “and MTV is proud to amplify this youth-led activism.”

MTV and all Viacom networks, including Logo, went dark March 14 for 17 minutes in tandem with the National School Walkout to honor the 17 lives lost in the Parkland shooting and other young victims of gun violence. MTV used the opportunity to celebrate 17 young people leading the fight against gun violence across the country and is currently creating a documentary special about the crusade.
