John,

On April 8, an illegal gun sale in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, erupted
into a shootout. Three young men — Chase Feaster (18), Alonzo Goffney
(18), and Devon Fitz (19) — were killed. Three others were hospitalized.

The people involved were barely adults. But they had powerful weapons.
They met for an illegal sale, and instead, it turned into a robbery and
mass shooting in broad daylight — on a residential street, in a
neighborhood full of families.

This is what happens when we treat gun access like a free-for-all. When
background checks are riddled with loopholes. When illegal sales go
unchecked. When young people are failed at every level by systems that
should be protecting them.

The gun violence crisis doesn’t just take lives — it destabilizes entire
communities. Schools in the area went on delay. Law enforcement scrambled
to respond to threats of retaliation. Families are grieving.

We are furious this happened. And we are clear about what we’re fighting
for.

We are organizing to shut down illegal gun trafficking. We are exposing
the systems that enable young people to get guns faster than they can get
help. We are demanding a country where the next generation can grow up
without fear, surveillance, or violence.

And as we fight, we remember.

We remember Chase, Alonzo, and Devon. We remember the lives they were
building. We remember that none of this was inevitable.

In remembrance and resolve,

March For Our Lives​

Today and every day, we honor the lives taken at Spotsylvania County,
Virginia:

Chase Feaster, 18
Devon Fitz, 19
Alonzo Goffney, 18
