John,
Last week, we rallied outside of the district offices of Texas Sen. John Cornyn, Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and others—to force a conversation on common-sense solutions to reduce gun violence. We also took in-district meetings, urging congressmembers to immediately pass Universal Background Checks, limit the sale of weapons of war and raise the age requirement for select gun purchases.
This week, we’re on Capitol Hill, continuing to apply pressure until Congress takes action to stop the deadly status quo.
March For Our Lives survivors and advocates have over 50 bipartisan meetings planned with members of Congress this week – some are longtime allies, some are not. Our goal is to send a message to all of Congress: we’ll meet and work with any legislator who is ready to take action and pass gun reform to save lives.
John, this week we’ve met with members of Congress to let them know our movement to end gun violence is gaining power. We need your help to prove it by joining a march this Saturday. You in?

We’ve seen an unprecedented wave of gun violence since we last marched four years ago, and yet our elected officials have refused to address this epidemic. On June 11th, we’ll march once again to demand legislative action before the next preventable tragedy.
We have over 450+ marches planned to make this one of the largest mobilizations to end gun violence in history and we hope you’ll be with us at one of them. RSVP to an upcoming march and share the link with 5 of your friends.
Onward,
Zeenat, Policy Director
March For Our Lives
