WASHINGTON (CNN) - A massive and powerful display in Washington, D.C., Tuesday called for an end to gun violence.
A memorial consisting of 7,000 pairs of shoes littered the southeast lawn of the capitol. Each shoe represented a child killed by guns since the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre.
The shoes are from family members of victims, as well as celebrities, and others from across the country.
It came almost a month after 17 people were killed in the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL.
The demonstration also happened ahead of the "March for our Lives" later this month in which activists will call on Washington lawmakers to take action on combating gun violence.
