What the Supreme Court ruling means for Washington
Twelve lives were cut short. Dozens more were forever changed. They were teenagers, parents, friends — people who simply went to the movies to laugh, escape, and share a moment of joy.
As a youth-led movement, many of us were just kids when Aurora happened. We grew up in the shadow of this tragedy, practicing active shooter drills in our classrooms, always looking for the nearest exit in every theater, mall, and grocery store.
Grief is heavy, Kendall. And in this movement, it’s easy to let the anger take over. But today, we want to offer something else: hope.
We honor the victims of Aurora not just by looking back in sorrow, but by looking forward with fierce determination. We honor them by refusing to accept gun violence as an unchangeable fact of American life.
Because of your support, March for Our Lives has spent years organizing, educating, and mobilizing the next generation. We’ve fought for historic federal legislation, successfully pushed for the creation of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, and trained thousands of young leaders to demand accountability in their own communities.
Change doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t happen through lobbying alone. It happens when we shift the culture. It happens when young people stand up and decide that our lives are worth more than the profits of the gun lobby.
Thank you for remembering with us today, and for helping us build a world where a trip to the movies is just a trip to the movies.
