BREAKING: March For Our Lives just filed an amicus brief in United States v. Allam in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Our brief defends the Gun-Free School Zones Act, Kendall. Here’s what you should know:
The Gun-Free School Zones Act prohibits firearms within 1,000 feet of K-12 schools, shielding not only school buildings from the terror of guns but also hot spots for kids like adjacent sports fields, playgrounds, parking lots, drop-off zones, community centers, and even nearby stores.
The U.S. has recorded more than 57x as many school shootings as all other major industrialized nations combined. That is a shameful problem for the U.S. to have. And it’s preventable. Schools are meant to be safe spaces for young people, not battlegrounds to fight for survival from gun violence.
That’s why MFOL defends gun safety laws like the Gun-Free School Zones Act, so that kids can go to school without the fear of being shot.
In solidarity,
Team March For Our Lives
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?
