Like many Americans, I felt immeasurable grief after the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida last month. Gun violence touches every corner of this country, and making our communities safer should be our number one priority. And on
March 24th, at more than 800 March for Our Lives events, young people will lead us in standing up for exactly that.
March for Our Lives is bringing hundreds of thousands of Americans together to demand that our elected officials prioritize the lives of our students and our communities. They're marching because young people should be worrying about homework, not whether they're safe at school. I'm inspired by the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who will be marching for all of our lives on
March 24th — and I'm inspired by everyone who has stepped up to join them.
So I'm asking: Will you join a March for Our Lives event near you?
I have always believed in our power to make change if we come together and demand it. I hope you've been as inspired by these students as I have — now, more than ever, is the time to speak out.
Thank you,
Hillary
