March for Our Lives (MFOL) is a student-led organization which leads demonstrations in support of gun control legislation.[4] It took place in Washington, D.C., on March 24, 2018, with over 880 sibling events throughout the United States and around the world,[5][6][7][8][9] and was planned by Never Again MSD in collaboration with the nonprofit organization Everytown for Gun Safety.[10] The event followed the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting a month earlier, which was described by several media outlets as a possible tipping point for gun control legislation.[11][12][13]

Protesters urged for universal background checks on all gun sales, closing of the gun show loophole, a restoration of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and a ban on the sale of high-capacity magazines and bump stocks in the United States.[14] Turnout was estimated to be between 1.2 and 2 million people in the United States,[15][16][17] making it one of the largest protests in American history.[2]

After the Robb Elementary School Shooting in Uvalde, Texas, MFOL Action Fund organized another nationwide protest on June 11, 2022.[18] The main protest took place in Washington, D.C., with hundreds of sibling events taking place across the United States.[19]

Cameron Kasky, a junior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and his classmates, announced the march on February 18, four days after the shooting at the school.[20] Also joining the march efforts were Alex Wind of Stoneman Douglas High School, who along with four friends created the "Never Again" campaign.[10] X González and David Hogg, also survivors of the shooting, have been vocal supporters of the march.[21]

The date was chosen in order to give students, families and others a chance to mourn first, and then on March 24, talk about gun control.[21] Organizers filed a permit application with the National Park Service during the week of February 23, and expected as many as 500,000 people to attend.[22][23] However, the National Mall, which was the planned site of the main march in Washington, D.C., was reportedly already booked for March 24; the application, filed by an unidentified local student group, claimed it was for a talent show.[24][25] A permit was later obtained for Pennsylvania Avenue.[26] The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced it would operate extra trains for the march.[27]

The Enough! National School Walkout was held on the one month anniversary of the Stoneman Douglas shooting.[28][29] It involved students walking out from their classes for exactly 17 minutes (one for each of the victims of the massacre)[30] and involved more than 3,000 schools across the United States[31][32] and nearly one million students.[33] Thousands of students also gathered and staged a rally in Washington, D.C., after observing 17 minutes of silence with their backs to the White House.[29][34] After the success of the walkout, Hogg posted a tweet[35] that included a provocative, NRA-style advertisement calling out lawmakers for their inaction on or opposition to gun control efforts, asking "What if our politicians weren't the bitch of the NRA?", and ending with a promotion for the upcoming March.[36]

Celebrity and corporate support

George Clooney and Scooter Braun were major forces behind the organization of the march, and aided in fundraising efforts behind the scenes.[37] Amal and George Clooney donated $500,000 to support the march and announced they would attend. Oprah Winfrey matched the Clooney donation to support the march.[38][39] Jeffrey Katzenberg and his wife Marilyn also contributed $500,000.[40] Film director and producer Steven Spielberg and actress Kate Capshaw Spielberg donated $500,000, also matching the donation of the Clooneys.[41] On February 23, Gucci announced they were also donating $500,000 towards the march.[42] Other people and organizations offering support have included Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber,[43] Gabby Giffords, Lauren Jauregui, Alyssa Milano, Moms Demand Action, Amy Schumer, St. Vincent, Harry Styles,[44] Hayley Williams,[45][46] Paul McCartney,[47] Kanye West, and Kim Kardashian.[48] John Legend and Chrissy Teigen donated $25,000.[49] Jimmy Fallon pledged to attend an event with his family.[50] Samantha Bee interviewed kids.[51] Jim Jefferies interviewed participants in San Diego.[52] Other celebrities including Taylor Swift have donated an undisclosed amount of money toward the campaign.[53] Justin Timberlake, Will Smith, Cher and Amy Poehler also participated in the march.[54]

James Corden promoted the March for Our Lives event.[55] John Zimmer and Logan Green, the co-founders of Lyft, announced their support of the rallies and stated that their company would provide free rides for those attending demonstrations.[56] Dating app Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd subsequently announced that they were supporting the NeverAgain movement by banning all images of firearms on their dating application.[57]

John Cena and Millie Bobby Brown applauded the March for Our Lives event at the Kids Choice Awards.[58]

The founding members of MFOL were awarded Smithsonian magazine's 2018 American Ingenuity Award in the Youth category.[59]

Prayer and vigil at the Washington National Cathedral

In Washington, D.C., a prayer and vigil was held at the Washington National Cathedral on the eve of the rally, as a memorial for the victims of gun violence, and to declare the church's belief, "This work is rooted in our commitment to Jesus' command to love our neighbors as ourselves... We gather out of a conviction that the right to bear arms does not trump the right to life."[60][61][62] The litany also included the following refrain:

From so many heartbreaks comes forth a united commitment to go into the streets of our cities and towns and promote a way of peace and well-being for all people. With compassion sown from the threads of sadness and terror, we will mend a nation tattered by gun violence and weave a new cloth of hope and peace.[63]

Guest speakers included Philip and April Schentrup, parents of 16-year-old Carmen Schentrup, who was killed in the shooting in Parkland, Florida.[60][63]

Participation

Portion of speech by David Hogg

March for Our Lives was among the biggest youth-led protests since the Vietnam War era.[64][65][66] Estimates of participation at the main event in Washington, D.C., range from 200,000 to 800,000.[67][68][69]

The speakers—all of whom were high schoolers or younger—included Marjory Stoneman Douglas students Cameron Kasky, David Hogg, Delaney Tarr, Sarah Chadwick, Alex Wind, Jaclyn Corin, Ryan Deitsch, Aalayah Eastmond, Samantha Fuentes, and X González.[70][71][72][69][73] Hunter Pollack, brother of victim Meadow, was scheduled to speak, but did not attend due to a logistical issue,[74] which he contended was a result of being misled by event officials.[75][76] David Hogg tweeted out a video of Hunter's speech from a later event.[77]

Other participants included Naomi Wadler, who is an elementary school student in Alexandria, Virginia,[78][79][80] Trevon Bosley from Chicago whose brother was shot and killed leaving church,[81] Edna Lizbeth Chávez, a high school student from Los Angeles,[82] and Zion Kelly, whose twin brother was shot and killed during an armed robbery.[83] Yolanda Renee King, granddaughter of Martin Luther King Jr., also made an appearance[84] along with Mya Middleton, a student from Chicago representing After School Matters,[85] Matt Post, a senior from Montgomery County,[86] Christopher Underwood, an 11-year old from New York,[87] Alex King and D'Angelo McDade from Chicago,[88] and Matthew Soto, brother of Sandy Hook victim Victoria Soto,[89] and Parkland parents Lori Alhadeff, who lost her daughter Alyssa in the school incident and Manuel & Patricia Oliver, whose lost their son Joaquin and launched a campaign titled "Change The Ref" to honor their son and push for new restrictions on any form of weapon violence.

González, after speaking and naming the seventeen victims, stood silent for over four minutes, after which a cellphone alarm went off and they announced the six minute and twenty second point in their speech, equal to the length of the Parkland shooting.[90][91][92] González ended their speech saying,

Since the time that I came out here, it has been 6 minutes and 20 seconds. The shooter has ceased shooting, and will soon abandon his rifle, blend in with the students as they escape, and walk free for an hour before arrest. Fight for your lives before it's someone else's job.[93]

then walked off stage as the entire crowd along Pennsylvania Avenue applauded loudly. Their speech and emotional moment of silence was praised by media organizations as one of the "most memorable"[94] and "powerful" moments in the day's events.[95][96]

Singers Ariana Grande, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Platt, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, Andra Day, Common, Demi Lovato and Vic Mensa joined student-led marchers in Washington, D.C.[73][97]

Responses

A poster saying "Our children's safety should not have to be leveraged"

On March 21, NRATV host Grant Stinchfield stated that "March for Our Lives is backed by radicals with a history of violent threats, language and actions"; fact-checker PolitiFact has rated this statement as being "without merit" and "Pants on Fire" indicating that it is a "ridiculous claim".[98][99]

While the march was occurring, the NRA posted a membership drive video on their Facebook page, declaring that the "protests aren't spontaneous. Gun-hating billionaires and Hollywood elites are manipulating and exploiting children as part of their plan to DESTROY the Second Amendment". Another video dubbed "A March for Their Lies" was uploaded to YouTube featuring Colion Noir, in which he described the planned rally as a "carnival of a march". Noir also said in the video that there is an "agenda that's a million times bigger than the guns".[100][101]

Politicians

The Washington Post reported that there were many Democrats encouraging the marchers, and many of them, including candidates for office, participated from the sidelines in the march, but few Republicans did similarly.[102] The White House said in a response that they "applaud the many courageous young Americans exercising their first amendment rights."[103]

On the day of the protests, Florida Republican senator Marco Rubio responded by stating: "However, many other Americans do not support a gun ban" and "view banning guns as an infringement on the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens that ultimately will not prevent these tragedies." He called for protesters to find "common ground with those who hold opposing views" for change to happen. However, a blanket gun ban was not called for by the protests.[104][105][106]

Former Republican senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum criticized the Parkland activists, suggesting during an interview with CNN that students should be learning ways to respond to a shooter rather than asking lawmakers "to solve their problem"; Santorum advised students to take classes in CPR rather than marching in Washington.[107][108] The Washington Post quoted several doctors responding to Santorum that CPR would not be at all effective on gunshot victims as they were suffering from blood loss.[109]

Media

A report in The New Yorker praised the leaders of the march for their "extraordinary inclusiveness" in that they expanded the locus of concern from suburban schools to those of urban neighborhoods as well.[110]

Libertarian magazine Reason criticized the march, saying that "Gun violence has declined precipitously over the past 25 years, and most Americans are much safer today than they were a generation ago." and that "mass shootings are not the norm, and kids don't need to be terrified of going to school."[111]

On social media, fake pictures and GIFs of X González tearing up a copy of the U.S. Constitution were circulated in an effort to discredit the march. The images were doctored from originals of González tearing up a shooting target sign. Actor and conservative commentator Adam Baldwin defended circulating the doctored images as "political satire."[112][113]

Use of social media

Previously, protests had occurred for multiple shootings in the United States, such as the 2015 Charleston church shooting, but never had they amassed more than several hundred participants. With social media, more information was relayed to a larger audience in quicker time, giving more people awareness of what was happening across the nation.[114] By National Walkout Day on April 20, 2018, the social medias had followings over 1.3 million people and in Washington, D.C., alone, 200,000 people attended the March For Our Lives protest, whom many younger adults attributed to the big social media presence.[115] The hashtag #MarchForOurLives was used 3.6 million times, and over 7.5 thousand tweets were directed at the NRA social media account.

Twitter

The movement originated after the Parkland shooting in Florida, where 17 individuals died.[116] During the shooting, multiple students used Twitter, including freshman Aidan Minoff, who tweeted, "I am in a school shooting right now..."[117] Twitter allowed others around the world to suddenly be aware of what was happening in real time and showing the raw emotion of these students. Twitter supported greater two-way communication between the organization and the audience than traditional news media outlets.

The March For Our Lives Twitter started in February 2018, with the Twitter handle, @AMarch4OurLives. Up to date, the Twitter account has 450,000 followers and are a student-run organization with a large social media presence.[118] The March For Our Lives Twitter has real time, up to date tweets about the movement. It includes tweets about the red flag bill being signed in from other March For Our Lives accounts based in different locations, such as NYC.[119] In addition, the March For Our Lives Twitter account also alerts their followers about the events that are happening, such as meetings at Town Halls or when certain protests are happening.[120]

Instagram

In March 2018, Selena Gomez shared the march's hashtag #MarchForOurLives with the message: "Protect kids, not guns!" and this post had received 2 million likes.[121] Lady Gaga also documented the march, releasing a series of Instagram videos calling for action from politicians to enforce stricter gun laws.[122] The march has drawn support from Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, and they have pledged to join and perform at the march.[123]

The students who survived the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting and millions of students worldwide participated in March for Our Lives, emerging as more influential on Instagram than celebrities on the gun control.[124] One of the tools they used were the hashtags. Top hashtags such as #MarchForOurLives #NeverAgain, #GunControlNow, and #EnoughIsEnough are used to spread the word and call on the public's attention.[125] Instagram becomes an 'informal' narrative platform that promoted a 'clicktivism' type of responses from the audience for the march.[126] Besides, students collaborate with Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) to create the first Instagram coloring book. BBH L.A. executive creative director Zach Hilder said, "we wanted to give them tools to elevate their voices, create a way to unify their message and allow everyone to participate in the march. That's the inspiration for Color for Our Lives."[127]

Facebook

The March For Our Lives movement employs Facebook as another social media platform to spread awareness of its campaigns and messages to people around the world. As of March 5 2019, nineteen days before the one year anniversary of the protests, the MFOL Facebook page had garnered more than 300,000 followers.[128] The page is mainly used to provide updates on national policies regarding gun laws, as well as coverage of various politicians who advocate for more gun safety. Similar to other media platforms, the Facebook page frequently employs popular hashtags such as #MarchForOurLives and #NeverAgain in its posts. Although other social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram often make posts to increase awareness, Facebook is more often used to organize people in nearby marches or demonstrations in major cities, and this has seen great success.[129] For example, Facebook played a role in the March 24, 2018, March For Our Lives and Never Again collaboration gathering in Washington, D.C., where more than 47,000 people marked themselves as "going," and where more than 90,000 people from across the nation and world marked themselves as "interested" on the Facebook events posting.[130]

Snapchat

The March For Our Lives movement leveraged Snapchat to gain momentum, spread the word and draw attention to what students and supporters were doing around the United States in response to recent shootings on school campuses. Unique from other social media platforms, Snapchat contains a map feature that allowed the world to see when and where activities by its users is taking place. This allowed the student walkouts to be easily tracked around the US.[131] Video shows thousands of students and supporters walking the streets, protesting gun violence and current gun laws.[132] Snapchat created a "March For Our Lives" Sticker that could be used by the platform's users to document the walkouts around the US.[133]

Celebrity controversy

Jesse Hughes, a survivor of the Bataclan terrorist attack, called the march "pathetic", but after being criticized for his comment, later apologized saying, "I was not attempting to impugn the youth of America and this beautiful thing that they accomplished. I truly am sorry, I did not mean to hurt anyone or cause any harm."[134][135][136][137]
