The front lawn outside the Arizona Capitol was littered with white sheets stained red on the morning of June 1, 2022. Some sheets are labeled "dead student."

After a mass shooting at a Florida high school in 2018, a student-led group called March for Our Lives formed to combat gun violence.

On Wednesday morning, eight days after the school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, the Arizona branch of March for Our Lives protested outside the state Capitol.

Demonstrators laid down nearly 300 white sheets on the Capitol lawn to represent victims of gun violence, and urged legislators to consider stricter gun control laws.
