The Democratic Party
-----------------------
On February 14th, I lost 17 members of my community in a mass shooting
at my school, Marjory Stoneman Douglas. But we, the survivors, refuse to
let their names be forgotten. We refuse to let their deaths be in vain.
We have decided to take action to ensure that an event like this will never
happen again. We are calling for stricter gun laws. We are calling for change.
I turned 18 the day after the shooting, and I immediately registered to vote.
But many of my fellow survivors can't vote yet, and we are counting on you
to stand up for young people at the ballot box.
This week the Democratic Party launched IWillVote -- a national
campaign to organize voters and get them to the polls. Voting is the first step
toward ending gun violence, so I'd like to ask you to do something important
today.
Will you add your name right now to commit to vote this fall?

Students like me are protesting, marching, and speaking out for our right to
live free from the fear of gun violence. We are talking to our elected officials
and debating the president himself to demand new gun laws that will keep
us safe.
We've kept up the momentum of our #NeverAgain movement -- but the truth
is many of us are not old enough to vote.
We need you, the people of America, to get out and vote this year -- for you,
your family, your community, but also for people like me. Do it for the survivors
who can't vote yet. Do it for those who will never be able to vote because they
were murdered in their school, their neighborhood, or their place of worship. Do
it so no parent will ever have to receive the news that their child has been shot
at school.
There is too much at stake for us to retreat from this fight. Can I count on you
to commit to vote this fall?
Add your name right now to commit to vote in the fall. It's up to every single one
of us to organize our friends, family, and neighbors to go to the polls:

I will never lose my sense of outrage over our country's gun violence problem --
and I will never stop fighting to make sure our elected officials do something about
it. I hope you won't either.
In solidarity,
