My name is Aubrey Greenfield. I was in calculus class on November 30, 2021, when a 15-year-old opened fire on my school.

As we huddled in the corner of our classroom, the door handle jiggled. We held our breaths. We later discovered it was other students trying to find safety from the gunfire.

We lost four students that day: Hana St. Juliana, Tate Myre, Justin Shilling, and Madisyn Baldwin.

The survivors were sent home to nightmares of the screaming and blood stains in the hallway, the helicopter noises and armed SWAT teams staring at us as we exited our school with hands raised.

When we returned to school in January, there was new carpet, and freshly painted murals. We had security guards and weapons scanners, see-through backpacks and therapy dogs. Yet, the feeling that we were walking on graves never left.

The Oxford High School shooting was thirteen months ago – but it’s also today and tomorrow. Every day we lose more lives to preventable gun violence. The gun used to kill my classmates was not locked up. Now, I’m advocating with March For Our Lives to pass safe storage laws so children don’t have easy access to these deadly weapons.

I’m taking action, and I’m asking you to join me. March For Our Lives is a youth-founded, survivor-led grassroots organization leading the fight to end gun violence.

Will you make your first contribution today to our effort to end gun violence? Donations before December 31 will be MATCHED and make TWICE the impact → [link removed]

Since surviving the Oxford High School shooting, I’ve realized that the anger, pain, and compassion that survivors carry is what is missing from our policymakers. We have to stay angry. We have to remember why we keep fighting. This is why I march, rally, and vote. And why I’m asking for your support today.

Thank you for standing with us,

Aubrey Greenfield
Oxford High School graduate, survivor, activist
