Our Work

From viral campaigns to leadership training, we lead the way.

Our Blueprint for Action

March For Our Lives began as a response to violence, and has grown into a movement that turns pain into power. We believe young people are not just the future but a force powerful enough to reshape the present.

When young people rise together, they can disrupt the systems that profit from gun violence, confront the indifference that sustains it, and build the cultural and political will to end it.

We do this through four interconnected strategies:

  • Mobilize for Impact – We mobilize young people by creating tools and pathways that transform outrage into rapid response, protest, and civic action.
  • Lead Accountability Campaigns – We disrupt the status quo by holding politicians, corporations, and the gun lobby accountable for enabling gun violence.
  • Center Human Loss – We confront indifference by centering the human cost of gun violence and amplifying the voices and stories of survivors, victims, and impacted families.
  • Cultivate Leaders – We cultivate the next generation of changemakers through training, mentorship, and leadership development.

Together, these strategies form a cultural force that makes change possible.

We create cultural change

It shouldn’t take a mass shooting in a school, house of worship, shopping center, or community for the country to pay attention. That’s why so much of our work is about breaking this tragic cycle — creating moments that spark dialogue and drive action on gun violence prevention every day, not just after tragedy.

From historic marches that filled the streets, to art installations on the National Mall, to the countless smaller actions when we knock on doors or organize our peers, we are shifting how America thinks about gun safety. We’ve expanded the fight beyond universal background checks and an assault weapons ban to include universal healthcare, an end to police violence, accessible mental health care, and other solutions that address gun violence at its roots — long before someone ever picks up a gun to harm themselves or others.

Since our first march in 2018, our consistent, youth-led pressure has kept gun safety laws in the spotlight and reshaped the political landscape. A generation has stepped up — and change is already happening.
