Building the Movement

You’ll be the first to know about all of the latest events and news affecting the movement. That’s also where you’ll have the easiest access to our coaching and mentorship opportunities.
2. JOIN PROGRESS MICHIGAN IN LANSING
ALERT! If you live in Michigan, we need your help with an upcoming event with our legislative partner, Progress Michigan! You’ll find more information at the link below, and the date of the lobby day is February 13th. The lobby day will begin at 9 AM.
3. CHECK IT OUT! STUDENT OP-ED
Members of the March For Our Lives chapter at UNC-Chapel Hill organized countless OP-EDs in student newspapers nationwide. Together, these students demonstrated the immense power & responsibility we hold as students & young people inheriting a country in crisis.
COMMEMORATING PARKLAND & MSU
Two shootings across the country and years apart demonstrate the inescapable webs of our communities.
On February 13th, 2023, Michigan State University students were thrust into the world of mass shootings in this country when three classmates were killed on campus. On February 14th, 2018, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was pushed into this same world when seventeen people were killed on campus. From that tragic event came March For Our Lives. These events, and all others in this category, are connected through actions, words, and association. They are also tragically linked through inaction. This interconnectedness is what brings us together, and it is also what fuels our fight for a better world. As we reflect on the anniversaries of these tragic events this weekend, let us not forget those that continue to happen around us, funded by our tax contributions and justified by our silence.
