WASHINGTON -- Rallies are taking place across the country — and the globe — on Saturday as protesters flock to "March for Our Lives" events, representing a movement that has picked up steam after a deadly shooting last month at a Florida high school. Organizers in Washington, D.C., alone are hoping to draw half a million people.

The movement to speak out against gun violence — and call for stricter gun control measures — was sparked largely by the outspokenness of a handful of students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 people were killed in the deadly Feb. 14  shooting. Many of them believe Congress and White House leadership have not done enough, so they're taking to the streets.

Here is a list of where people are marching Saturday, and when. All times are local:
