Common and Vic Mensa are also in DC attending the main rally, which comes in wake of the Parkland, Florida school shootings. Vic is part of the lineup performing at the rally. Jennifer Hudson, Miley Cyrus, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ariana Grande have also performed. NBA legend Denis Rodman was also spotted at the rally, where he posed for a photo with Kanye.
Vic has previously spoken out against gun control. "You're not going to fight off a tyrannical government with an AR-15 or an M16, so give it up. It's not a constitutional right," he said in November. He has also denounced the notion that arming teachers will prevent school shootings. “Giving guns to teachers is absolutely asinine," he said. "It’s so backwards, it’s like anyone saying that clearly never been to a public school, and it’s all just a diversion from big money lobbyist with the NRA.”
#MarchForOurLives rallies are taking place across the U.S. Stay tuned for further updates throughout the day.
