John,
Nearly eight years ago, after 17 of my classmates and teachers were murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, there was no federal office to help our community recover. We spent years pushing for the creation of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, and its work saved lives across the country.
Now, instead of strengthening the federal response to gun violence, the Trump administration has dismantled that office and replaced it with one designed to make it easier to put guns in dangerous hands. Creating an office to expand gun access while communities continue to bury their children is a profound betrayal of every survivor who demanded change.
Young people will not back down. We refused to give up when people told us that an Office of Gun Violence Prevention would never exist, and we refuse to give up now that Trump has disbanded it.
Support us in the fight against gun violence – make a donation to March For Our Lives today. Your donation will go directly towards training young organizers, holding the gun lobby accountable, and connecting grief to action in communities devastated by gun violence.

Guns are the leading cause of death for youth, but we refuse to accept gun violence as a fact of life. Chip in to the movement that's saving lives.
Sincerely,
Jackie Corin
