On the second anniversary of the March for Our Lives, AMarch4OurLives & ewarren team up on a new campaign:
Today, on the second anniversary of the March for Our Lives, the group is launching a new campaign calledto channel youth activism ahead of the 2020 election, Refinery29 can exclusively report. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Lucy McBath, whose son was a victim of gun violence, will help the group launch its new online activism hub. The goal is to engage young people, focusing on voter registration and digital organizing.
Since its historic march in 2018, March for Our Lives has helped pass over 50 gun safety laws in the U.S., held the 2020 Presidential Gun Safety Forum, and registered thousands of new voters. Ahead we spoke with March for Our Lives leaders Jaclyn Corin and Bria Smith — who now attend Harvard University and Emerson College, respectively — about their plans for 2020."As we face this threat, young people are home and a lot of young people are desperate to get involved in something while they're home. Not only does March for Our Lives work toward the issues we care about, but it's a place to cultivate friendship.
"I'm also really excited about ARTivism projects. Not everyone can speak on a panel or talk to politicians; sometimes organizing is a spoken-word piece. We need to incorporate all types of activism to have power as young people, and we can shift narratives. People really sleep on ARTivism, but there's so much people can do through music, through song and dance.
