They're hoping their peaceful message will spread to lawmakers nationwide.

"If we can unite and stop focusing on things like the color of our skin, our physical gender, our loving habits, the things that they have systemically thrown at us, if we can start instead focusing on inclusion and accepting those things in other people we can really unite as a community," organizer Queen Phoenix said.
