We just got a win. Last week, the Supreme Court dismissed a challenge to one of New York’s most important concealed carry laws — allowing common-sense, life-saving restrictions to stay in place.
Here’s what it means:
- Concealed firearms stay banned from “sensitive places” like schools, hospitals, churches, parks, and entertainment venues.
- Gun owners still have to meet a moral character standard to get a concealed carry license.
This decision didn’t happen by accident. March For Our Lives has been pushing to defend and strengthen New York’s gun laws for years — even when the odds were stacked against us. In 2022, we filed an amicus brief in NYSRPA v. Bruen, urging the Supreme Court to uphold a common-sense gun policy. The Court ruled against us, making it easier to carry guns in public.
But we refused to back down. We demanded that lawmakers adopt new restrictions in the wake of the ruling and put our lives before gun rights.
After years of advocacy inside and outside the courtroom, New York passed the laws that are being challenged today.
Thank you for your continued support.

Your Personal Invite To the Movement Fund 💌💙
At March For Our Lives, we call our monthly supporter program The Movement Fund.
Why are monthly recurring donors so important? The amount of one-time individual donations we receive as an organization varies vastly from month to month.
Without a steady stream of monthly donations coming in our door, it would be impossible to accurately plan our budgets, create long-term strategies to win a future free from gun violence, plan and execute on-the-ground organizing efforts, recruit and train more gun safety champions, and more.
One of the best ways that you can help sustain our movement is by becoming a recurring monthly donor. Can you sign up today?
