Hate mail doesn't make it any easier to process tragedy.

Hey John,
Matthew here -- March For Our Lives’ Digital Manager, full-time college student, and frequent guest in your email inbox. We were already planning to send you this email today, but it didn’t feel right without starting off with a message of solidarity for the students at Timberview High School in Texas. We know what it feels like in the days following a tragedy like this one, and that feeling is part of why we do this work.
Committing to this fight and standing up for what’s right is not without its challenges. It’s hard enough to focus on midterm exams and passing our classes when there’s a constant onslaught of hate and fear in the news. But it’s even harder when that hate and fear is in our inboxes. Every day when I dive into March For Our Lives’ email inbox, I sift through hate mail from adults who take time out of their days to harass teenagers. These people literally go to the trouble of finding our contact information and writing us an email just to tell us that Parkland was a hoax, or that “you guys are the real terrorists” after the Capitol insurrection.
Look, it obviously gets me down sometimes. But I know that this isn’t about me or March For Our Lives -- this is about ALL of us. They’re threatened because we have a huge movement of dedicated grassroots supporters, like you, and something worth fighting for. So I have to ask, can you donate $5 to power our movement?

It’s easy to take cheap shots at teenagers -- you may remember in January when Marjorie Taylor Greene attacked my friend David on Twitter as a fundraising stunt, one that got her millions of dollars in donations. The fact is, conservatives raise a ton of money by publicly attacking us, which is why grassroots donors like you are so critical. If everyone receiving this email pitched in, we could raise more money than the NRA spent on lobbying puppet politicians in Congress last year.

Thank you for being on the right side of history. Send good vibes my way as I dive into our inbox today.
Onward,
Matthew Hogenmiller
Digital Manager
