The effort was in conjunction with the national group Students Demand Action. It urged high school students to protest after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 students and two adults were killed.

Dozens and dozens of people pushed the Batavia school board Tuesday to do more, and do it faster, to eliminate discrimination against, and bullying of, marginalized students -- including students of color, and gay and transgender students.

The rally is scheduled for 6 p.m. in front of Rotolo Middle School, before the 7 p.m. school board meeting.
