Hi John,

Every year around this time, I find myself thinking back to the moment
that changed the trajectory of my life, and of so many others. February
14th, 2018. I will carry that day and the loss of my schoolmates with me
forever.

In the years since, I have held onto one truth: young people should never
have to shoulder this burden alone. That belief is what led me to help
build March For Our Lives, and it is the belief that keeps me focused on
this work.

The moment that guides me every single day, though, and that I return to
most often is the 2018 March. Standing on that stage, looking out at
hundreds of thousands of young people and families who showed up not
because they had to, but because they refused to accept living in fear, is
something I struggle to describe even now. I remember the stillness right
before our program began, and then the wave of emotion that swept over the
crowd when the students from Parkland stepped forward.

It was the first time I felt the full weight of what we were building: a
movement rooted in courage, grief, anger, and hope, all at once.

But there are other moments that have stayed with me, the quieter ones.
Sitting with survivors who needed someone to listen. Reading messages from
young organizers who were finding their voices for the first time.
Watching students push their school boards and legislators to act.

Those are the moments that remind me that this movement is not defined
only by marches or headlines. It is defined by the countless young people
who refuse to give up on a safer country.

When I stepped into the role of Executive Director this year, I carried
all of those memories with me. I also carried a renewed sense of
responsibility: to rebuild, to steady our foundation, and to ensure that
March For Our Lives remains a powerful home for the next generation of
organizers, storytellers, advocates, and survivors who deserve a movement
worthy of their courage.

This Giving Tuesday, as we reflect on everything this community has built,
I’m thinking a lot about how far we’ve come and how much more we can do
together. Your support helps us train young organizers, tell stories that
shift culture, expose the systems that enable gun violence, and mobilize
communities in every corner of the country. None of this happens without
you.

historical moment.

With gratitude,

Jackie Corin
