A huge decision just came out of the Fifth Circuit that is a win for the anti-gun violence movement.
John, this is a big deal.
Yesterday, the Fifth Circuit Court upheld the Gun-Free School Zones Act in United States v. Allam — a critical law that keeps guns away from schools by prohibiting firearms within 1,000 feet of school grounds.
March For Our Lives led the amicus brief in this case, alongside other gun violence prevention organizations. We made sure the voices of survivors were front and center — with testimony from communities like Uvalde, Oxford, Columbine, Santa Fe, and Newtown.
These stories made it clear: no student should have to carry the weight of this kind of trauma. And no school should be a place of fear.
This ruling is a major legal win, but we know it’s not the end of the fight. We’re building a future where students don’t just survive school, they feel safe in it.
If you’re with us, chip in to help us keep pushing forward.
