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]
