March For Our Lives was a worldwide event which comprised hundreds of marches across the world on March 24.
The protest movement was started by students after
the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Florida, in which 17 people were killed last month.
For Dunedin organiser Daniel Basubas the March For Our Lives movement is personal.
A Californian who went to school in southern Los Angeles, Mr Basubas, a geography PhD student, grew up with metal detectors and lockdown drills as part of his educational experience.
"We are here to acknowledge all those affected by gun violence," Mr Basubas said.
"There are more than 800 marches happening around the world today and we are all standing here in solidarity with the American people to fight against violence."
