The mayor of Houston, Texas told thousands of demonstrators at a "March for Our Lives" rally that adults have a responsibility to protect all children.
Mayor Sylvester Turner spoke at the Tranquility Park event Saturday morning, one of several anti-gun rallies being held across the U.S. on Saturday in response to last month's school shooting in Florida and other mass shootings.
"We have a responsibility for those of us as adults, we have a responsibility to stand up and protect our children," said Turner.
Turner also chanted with the crowd "Now is the time" to "do the right thing."
