March For Our Lives June 11
You can’t stop a bullet with thoughts and prayers.
March For Our Lives Nationwide Protests Set for June 11, 2022.
What will it take to create safe communities?
Everywhere we look, gun violence is decimating our families and communities. Whether it’s the mass shootings in shopping malls, concerts, schools, and places of worship, the retaliatory gun violence in urban neighborhoods haunted by the legacy of economic disinvestment, racism, and poverty, or the solitary suicides committed nationwide with increasing frequency, gun violence adds up: over 100 Americans die from it every day. 100+ lives lost every single day.
March For Our Lives was created to say, “Not One More.” No more school shooting drills. No more burying loved ones.
As a youth-led movement to end the epidemic of gun violence, March For Our Lives (MFOL) believes a new reality is possible—one where we are free from gun violence in all of its forms, including state-sanctioned violence by police.
Among young people, gun violence has become a top cause of death. It has many root causes, including hate, poverty, and despair. And it’s amplified by the societal belief that a gun can solve our problems. MFOL knows this is a deeply intersectional issue, inextricably bound with our long journey for racial justice, economic justice, immigrant rights, and the rights of our LGBTQIA+ comrades.
MFOL’s mission calls for something more bold and transformative than gun control alone. The call is for a world re-imagined: a world where oppressive power structures are abandoned and community is embraced. A world where all human needs are met and the love of people is centered.
