The U.S. leads wealthy nations in child deaths. We must act now.
John,
The child mortality rate is rising in America.
According to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, U.S. children are now 80% more likely to die than their peers in other wealthy nations.
The biggest reason?
Guns.
U.S. children are a staggering 15 times more likely to die by firearm than other children in this study.
This isn’t happening in Australia. Or Austria. Or Belgium. Or Canada. Or Denmark. Or Finland. Or France. Or Germany. Or Ireland. Or Italy. Or Japan. Or the Netherlands. Or New Zealand. Or Norway. Or Spain. Or Sweden. Or Switzerland. Or the United Kingdom.
It’s happening here, because our laws allow it.
March For Our Lives was founded to end this epidemic. And we’ve already helped pass over 300 gun safety laws. But as child mortality rates increase, we need your help to keep going to reverse this trend.
Can you chip in $15 or more today to help save children’s lives? Every dollar helps us organize, advocate, and fight for the future American kids deserve.

Child mortality is a policy choice. And it’s past time we chose differently.
Thank you for standing with us,
March For Our Lives
