Support the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School “March
for Our Lives” on March 24th as the young people of that school fire
their first salvo in trying to stop school shootings and other gun violence.
Mission Statement
Not one more. We cannot allow one more child to be shot at
school. We cannot allow one more teacher to make a choice to jump in front of a
firing assault rifle to save the lives of students. We cannot allow one more
family to wait for a call or text that never comes. Our schools are unsafe. Our
children and teachers are dying. We must make it our top priority to save these
lives.
March For Our Lives is created by, inspired by, and led by
students across the country who will no longer risk their lives waiting for
someone else to take action to stop the epidemic of mass school shootings that
has become all too familiar. In the tragic wake of the seventeen lives brutally
cut short in Florida, politicians are telling us that now is not the time to
talk about guns. March For Our Lives believes the time is now.
On March 24, the kids and families of March For Our Lives will
take to the streets of Washington, DC to demand that their lives and safety
become a priority. The collective voices of the March For Our Lives
movement will be heard.
School safety is not a political issue. There cannot be two
sides to doing everything in our power to ensure the lives and futures of
children who are at risk of dying when they should be learning, playing, and
growing. The mission and focus of March For Our Lives is to demand that a
comprehensive and effective bill be immediately brought before Congress to
address these gun issues. No special interest group, no political agenda
is more critical than timely passage of legislation to effectively address the
gun violence issues that are rampant in our country.
Every kid in this country now goes to school wondering if this
day might be their last. We live in fear.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Change is coming. And it starts
now, inspired by and led by the kids who are our hope for the
future. Their young voices will be heard.
Stand with us on March 24. Refuse to allow one more needless
death.
MARCH FOR OUR LIVES!
