Today is March For Our Lives’ biggest fundraising day of the year and we have an ambitious goal to raise $100,000 before midnight. A generous donor has agreed to match all donations up to $50,000 today, meaning your gift will go twice as far. Can we count on your support? Your gift today is tax-deductible and will fund the resources young people need to fight back against Trump and the far-right as they try to dismantle and block our gun safety progress. |
John, it’s Tre, and I have an important ask today. But before I tell you more, let me introduce myself.
I’m a gun safety activist and co-chair of the Board at March For Our Lives. Our mission to end gun violence is deeply personal to me.
In 2005, my cousin Vincent Avant was shot and killed while just sitting in a car a few blocks from his home. In 2006, my brother Terrell Bosley was shot and killed while at church for band rehearsal in Chicago.
This was one of the hardest times of my life and I was overtaken by sadness and anger. I didn’t know what to do with those feelings until I connected with B.R.A.V.E. (Bold Resistance Against Violence Everywhere), a group full of youth similar to me who were tired of Chicago’s gun violence and ready for a change.
Since joining the group, I’ve led protests, rallies, petitions, and voting campaigns; mentored youth; and spoken about gun safety with dozens of elected officials and celebrities. I even spoke at the first March For Our Lives in 2018.
We are strong when we come together — and our movement has made significant progress in the last few years. Today is Giving Tuesday — and I hope you’ll support March For Our Lives. We have a tough few years ahead of us, but MFOL knows how to succeed under a Trump presidency. Your support today will help us save lives tomorrow.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 before midnight tonight to fuel the fight ahead. It would mean the world to me if you were able to support us today.
Thank you for supporting March For Our Lives today.

Your Personal Invite To the Movement Fund 💌💙 At March For Our Lives, we call our monthly supporter program The Movement Fund. Why are monthly recurring donors so important? The amount of one-time individual donations we receive as an organization varies vastly from month to month. Without a steady stream of monthly donations coming in our door, it would be impossible to accurately plan our budgets, create long-term strategies to win a future free from gun violence, plan and execute on-the-ground organizing efforts, recruit and train more gun safety champions, and more. |
