Hey there,

Last week, we released our Peace Plan for a Safer America, a holistic plan that WILL end the gun violence epidemic. 

This plan is not only intersectional in addressing the various ways gun violence touches different communities, but also works to change the culture around guns. For a lot of people, it's cool to own guns -- just like it used to be cool to smoke cigarettes or not wear seatbelts. But, once the risks became clear, America woke up to how fatal these behaviors are and took action. It's time to do the same around guns.

Subject: We have a big announcement:

Our generation and our country are being destroyed by the gun violence epidemic.

It's time we address it head on. It's time to stop putting our lives in the hands of complicit policymakers. It's time for peace.

That's why we -- survivors and, hopefully, the last generation to experience gun violence -- are introducing a comprehensive agenda to end the epidemic: A Peace Plan for a Safer America. 

Read more about the Peace Plan

Unlike thoughts and prayers, we are demanding bold C.H.A.N.G.E., asking that policymakers take these six vital steps:

1. Change the standards of gun ownership
2. Halve the rates of gun deaths in ten years
3. Accountability for the gun lobby and industry
4. Name a National Director of Gun Violence Prevention
5. Generate community-based solutions
6. Empower the next generation

The Peace Plan sets out to save the lives that NRA-backed politicians have ignored. That's why the Peace Plan is as ambitious as it is intersectional. We want to go beyond piecemeal solutions and put forth a comprehensive plan to address all types of gun violence: suicides, urban gun violence, intimate partner violence, accidental shootings, and shootings driven by ideologies of hatred.

This is a plan worth fighting for and worth surviving for. Our agenda shifts power away from the NRA, and puts it in the hands of those most closely affected. The time for waiting is over. We're taking our lives -- and our country -- into our own hands. 

Read the Peace Plan and sign your support for bold change

Our generation will live or die based on how we address this crisis. Let's do something.

In solidarity,
March For Our Lives
