MTV said Friday that it would band together with several celebrities and the NAACP to send buses of young people to the March for Our Lives anti-gun violence rally in Washington, D.C.
The march, set to take place on Saturday, is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of students to D.C. and local marches nationwide to call for gun control and school safety measures in response to mass school shootings.
MTV announced the effort on Twitter, saying that the network is teaming up with the NAACP and celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Jimmy Fallon, Carmelo Anthony and Halsey to sponsor 17 busloads of youth from communities impacted by gun violence.
Student survivors of the February shooting at a Florida high school organized the march, which has drawn support from several high-profile celebrities, as well as lawmakers and other organizations.
