Thousands gathered in Old City on Saturday — as many more organized around the nation — for the March for Our Lives against gun violence.
The event was held five weeks after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., where 17 people were killed. Demonstrators, including survivors of the Parkland shooting, used the march to push for tougher gun laws.
We present the 10 best signs from the Philly event:

8. “You can’t hold my future and a gun in the same hands.”
Very inspiring to hear all the young speakers at today's #marchforourlives rally in #philadelphia. We must make it our goal to pressure our senators and representatives to pass common sense gun laws. America, you are a first world country. It's time to start acting like one. pic.twitter.com/NK4TuS4CyN
