On Wednesday, thousands of students across the country participated in the National School Walkout today in honor of the 17 victims of the Parkland shooting just one month ago.

These kids, of all ages, have devoted 17 minutes of silence to commemorating the lives lost, and while they have been joined by family and community members across the country, celebrities have also been cheering them on as they fight for change.

It's moving to see so many famous names standing with these brave kids.
