Join the Election Strategy Workshop
At March For Our Lives, we’ve been working around the clock to develop our election strategy for 2024. With fascists at our doorstep, we don’t have time to waste. We want to make an impact where it counts. That’s why we’re mobilizing folks where young people make the margin in the election.
We’re still working out the final details, and that’s where you come in. We are looking for young people who want to make an impact in 2024. Join our election strategy session on Thursday, March 28th, at 7PM ET to create a better world for all of us.
Join the Discord Training Call
Next Monday, March 18th, our Discord Team is hosting a training that goes over the uses and tools of our Discord server, channels, and notifications so we can better organize and communicate! Questions welcome!
This event is hosted by March For Our Lives grassroots leaders. For questions and feedback about the event, please reach out to the event host.
Building the Movement
1. JOIN THE ELECTION STRATEGY WORKSHOP
With the General Election rapidly approaching, the Organizing Team wants to work with you to develop our strategy and programming. If we will defeat the far-right candidates on the ballot and energize young people in the process, we’ll need to think BIG. Join us!
SIGN UP FOR OUR FIRST SESSION! ➽
2. START OR JOIN A TEAM
Our movement is powered by volunteers who organize their classmates, neighbors, and friends into powerful teams that fight to end gun violence. Whether you start a chapter or join a digital team, we’re here to support you with coaching and training, and a whole group of powerful volunteers are ready to welcome you to the movement!
3. CHECK IT OUT! THE YOUTH AGENDA
Last week, in coalition with our partners at Sunrise, United We Dream, and Gen-Z for Change, we launched our youth agenda, ‘Finish the Job.’ Biden can’t rely on the youth vote without adhering to our demands of a world free from gun violence, a permanent and immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the West Bank, a world with clean air and water, and where families aren’t broken apart at the border
SIX YEARS LATER
As we near the sixth anniversary of the original March For Our Lives, we reflect on wins, losses, and the people who got us here.
In 2018, David was in Parkland, FL, planning the big march. In 2019, Jordan was building a statewide team in Phoenix, AZ. Trevor transformed our organizing while the world went under lockdown. Ariel built programs that fueled our communities in 2021, and in 2022, Matthew organized as we marched again. Last year, Ashton joined the fight in Denver, CO.
Since our founding in 2018, March For Our Lives has transformed into a nationwide movement fueled by young people. Over six years, thousands of young people have been propelled into action. We’ve marched, rallied, and demanded a world free from gun violence while politicians sat idly by. We’ve found ourselves in a world in which it was impossible, in fact, immoral to sit by and watch tragedy after tragedy occur, with the same cycle of condolences and mock outrage. Through our stories and others, March For Our Lives lives and breaths the struggle for a better world for all of us.
Upcoming in the Movement
03/28/24 – Election Strategy Workshop
Our democracy is crumbling, with the threat of mass shootings growing larger– all the while, our tax dollars fund a genocidal campaign in Gaza. We will focus on beating back far-right candidates. This is our moment to make our voices heard.
Anytime – Send a Message with the Shotline
Using AI technology, Change The Ref re-created the voices of those shot and killed by guns so they can call our representatives in hopes of changing our country’s gun laws.
