JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4)- Students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are in Colorado this week to join a group of teenagers for the "Vote for Our Lives" rally.
The rally at Clement Park near Columbine High School in Littleton is at 6 p.m. Thursday with students from Parkland, Florida and Columbine. Their message is to encourage students to register to vote and join the effort to end gun violence.
