You know it, we know it. The stakes couldn’t possibly be higher in this election. Trump has shown us time and time again who he is: A dangerous demagogue who wants to take us back in time, strip us of our rights, and give a blank check over to the extremist gun lobby. We can’t let that happen. We need someone to stand up boldly to him and his cronies and fight for our lives tooth and nail. A proven fighter and a bold thinker who can inspire young people and create the future that we KNOW we deserve.

That’s why we’re pleased to make our first endorsement EVER: March for Our Lives endorses Kamala Harris for President of the United States.

Young people are inheriting an increasingly precarious world as gun violence remains the leading cause of death for young people for the third year in a row, the war in Gaza continues to rage on, the climate crisis escalates, and far-right politicians are pushing one of the most extremist agendas in our country’s history. We have been struggling to feel excited about voting in this election, and are increasingly pessimistic that change is possible. But we know that another Trump Presidency is simply not an option that young people can afford—our lives are literally at stake.

Kamala Harris’ task is a tall one—to run a campaign that boldly paints a future that we can believe in. We call on her to run a campaign that fights for the policy solutions that young people want, like an assault weapons ban, action on climate change, a vigorous defense of abortion, court reform, and an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza. Young people are savvy voters, who will see through empty promises and cynical horsetrading. We believe that Kamala will step above that and fight for a bold, progressive future—and we will hold her accountable to that. 

Throughout her time in DC, first as a Senator and then as Vice President, she has been a forceful champion for gun safety and for young people. At the 2020 Presidential Gun Safety Forum we hosted with our friends at Giffords, Vice President Harris outlined a bold plan to tackle gun violence from every angle—demanding action from Congress and using the power of the presidency to fight for our lives.

Since becoming Vice President, she has met regularly with advocates and survivors of gun violence, and we’ve had the pleasure of working with her as she’s led the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Importantly, Vice President Harris has put gun violence survivors at the center of policy making, demonstrating her commitment to empowering those most impacted by the issue to implement the right solutions. As she begins her campaign for president, we look forward to working with her to develop a comprehensive plan to combat gun violence, focused on a holistic and preventive approach.

What can we say? We’re Coconut-pilled. Join us.
