TOOLKIT: End Gun Violence
On the 5th year anniversary of March For Our Lives, FEMINIST is mobilizing alongside youth, parents, teachers, care providers, and everyone who cares about young people affected by gun violence to demand ACTION.
Guns are now the leading cause of death for children and young people. This is unacceptable. Young people refuse to die waiting for change. We will continue to fight for our lives. And we will win. We are fighting for legislation that will ban assault weapons, close background check loopholes, require safe storage of firearms, and other measures that will save lives.
Use the tool below ↓ to tell your local legislatures you want to common sense gun laws now!
