Oprah Gave $500K To The March For Our Lives Movement
Oprah gave a $500,000 donation to the March for Our Lives movement, announcing her donation via twitter, which matched George and Amal Clooney’s $500K.
“George and Amal, I couldn’t agree with you more,” Oprah wrote. “I am joining forces with you and will match your $500,000 donation to ‘March For Our Lives.’ These inspiring young people remind me of the Freedom Riders of the 60s who also said we’ve had ENOUGH and our voices will be heard.”

As part of the movement, children and families plan to march the streets of Washington, D.C., on March 24 to protest gun violence and mass shootings, such as the Feb 14. massacare, which left 17 people dead in Florida.
