Company History
Born out of a tragic school shooting, March For Our Lives (MFOL) is a courageous youth-led movement dedicated to promoting civic engagement, education, and direct action by youth to eliminate the epidemic of gun violence. In 2018, the March For Our Lives was the single largest youth-led protest since the Vietnam War, with 1.2 million people convening in DC and 800 sibling marches worldwide. MFOL turned a moment into a movement of hundreds of thousands of young people fighting for common sense gun safety reform.
In the past five years, MFOL has passed 60+ gun safety laws at the state level, helped secure the first federal legislation on guns in more than 30 years after a historic second march in 2022, lobbied in the courts to maintain gun violence prevention laws, and turned out hundreds of thousands of young people to vote.
Notable Accomplishments / Recognition
We spurred a historic youth turnout in the 2018 midterm elections, with a 47% increase over the last midterm election and the highest percentage of youth voter turnout ever. Voters made it clear that the status quo was no longer acceptable — a record 46 NRA-backed candidates lost their elections that November.
Inspired by the Freedom Riders of the 1960s, we toured the country on the Road To Change. Along the way, we registered over 50,000 new voters.
We also met with family members, community leaders, and survivors of gun violence across the country. This allowed us to expand our understanding of gun violence and how it affects each community differently. We’ll never forget each story we heard and each ally we made in this fight for justice.
