Tomorrow is March For Our Lives’ biggest fundraising day of the year and we have an ambitious goal to raise $100,000 before midnight. A generous donor has agreed to match all donations up to $50,000, meaning your gift will go twice as far. Can we count on your support?

In a month and a half, Donald Trump will be president again. I was just 16 the last time he was elected, and two years into his NRA-funded presidency, I survived the school shooting that led me and my classmates to found March For Our Lives. 

I don’t know exactly what Trump and his administration have in store for our country. What I do know is that he’ll try his best to put an end to the progress we’ve made together. But, I can promise you this: 

We can and will fight back. We will choose hope. We will continue to show up every day and advocate for gun safety and our right to not be shot.

Tomorrow is March For Our Lives’ biggest fundraising day of the year. We need to raise $100K and I need your help.

I’ll be real with you, the majority of our budget comes from small-dollar donations and every single person who’s a part of this movement makes us stronger. Will you chip in anything you can today to help us get ready for the fight ahead?

March For Our Lives is fully prepared to continue onward, but we need to be equipped to be able to stand up against whatever is thrown at us, meaning the fight starts right now. Here’s just some of what we have planned:

  • Prevent the implementation of Project 2025.
  • Continue to push for bold policy change.
  • Identify opportunities for state-based victories in our 2025 priority states: Arizona, Illinois, Maryland, Texas, and Wisconsin.
  • Continue to advocate in the judicial branch to amplify survivor voices and defend our right not to be shot.

For six and a half years, we’ve been called meddling kids and told we’ll run out of steam and give up, but we’ve proved them wrong time and time again. After every tragedy, every setback, we turned our grief into power and our fear into fuel. This time is no different. Under a Trump Presidency, this fight doesn’t end. 

I’m personally asking you to make a donation this Giving Tuesday so we can continue to fight to keep our communities safe. Any amount will make a difference. Your gift will be matched 2 to 1 with a $50,000 donor match.

Thank you,

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?
