March For Our Lives – June 8, 2026

When March for Our Lives was born out of the heartbreak of Parkland, we were driven by a righteous fury. We marched, we shouted, and we demanded accountability from politicians who traded our lives for gun lobby checks.

And together, we changed the world. We pushed the Biden-Harris administration to launch the first-ever federal Office of Gun Violence Prevention. We helped pass the most significant federal gun safety legislation in decades. We proved that a movement run by young people could out-maneuver the NRA.

But if we have learned anything on this journey, it’s this: Gun violence doesn’t just take lives; it alters them forever.

June is National PTSD Awareness Month. For too many people, trauma isn’t an abstract concept. It’s the sound of a fire alarm. It’s looking for the exits in every crowded room. It’s the heavy, lingering grief that remains long after the news cameras pack up and move on from another American tragedy.

We are tired of being forced to grow up angry. We deserve a breath of fresh air.

But our fight must also be about funding the healing. If you are able, will you join us in funding both the fight and the healing today?

True accountability isn’t just about stopping the next bad bill – it’s about pouring resources back into the youth survivors who have given everything to this movement. We are dedicated to creating spaces, murals, and toolkits that uplift survivor stories and provide real, tangible mental health support for the generation that was forced to grow up too fast.

We proved we could win before, and we will do it again in this second Trump administration. But we can only do it if we’re together.

Thank you for being the breath of fresh air we need, and for standing by our side through the anger, the grief, and most importantly, the hope!

Thanks,

March For Our Lives
