Florida’s leaders are choosing more guns over safety. We shouldn't have to fight this hard for safe schools.
John,
When Sarah Lerner started teaching 24 years ago, she never imagined she would have to risk her life for her classroom. But on February 14, 2018, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, that became her reality.
Today, Sarah is a survivor and a co-founder of Teachers Unify to End Gun Violence. She knows better than anyone the trauma that gun violence leaves behind — yet eight years after Parkland, Florida’s leadership is still moving in the wrong direction.
Instead of listening to survivors, Florida has expanded gun rights, allowed concealed carry on college campuses, and pushed to arm teachers. Will you chip in $10 today to help us fight for safe campuses and hold Florida’s leaders accountable?
Let’s be clear: these aren’t safety measures. They are dangerous policies that put even more unsecured weapons into our schools.
At March For Our Lives, we were founded in the wake of the Parkland shooting to say "Never Again". Since then, we’ve pushed the federal government to create the first-ever Office of Gun Violence Prevention and passed the first major federal gun safety legislation in decades.
But in Florida, the fight is more urgent than ever. While we deal with a governor who continues to prioritize the gun lobby over students, we are ready to organize, disrupt, and win.
We’ve seen what we can accomplish when we stand together, but the road is long, and the opposition is well-funded. Still, we are hopeful. We found success during a Trump administration before, and we will do it again.
Will you stand with us to protect Florida’s students and teachers?
