March for Our Lives Georgetown

Please join us TOMORROW for a documentary screening of “‘They Don’t Care About Us’ or Do they,” produced by gunshot survivor Oronde McClain to highlight the recovery journeys of gun violence survivors in Philadelphia.

H.R. 1801, also known as the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022, is a bill that, if passed into law, would allow for the regulation of assault weapons in the United States. This law would serve as a significant step forwards in gun violence prevention work, as it would impose more uncompromising restrictions on the purchase and possession of semi-automatic guns such as the AR-15. Today, we will be holding a letter writing campaign in WGR 202 to call on Congress to pass the bill immediately. Please come join us as we enjoy Insomnia Cookies and participate in this very important work!

We will be joining ’s Pass The Ban march at the Capitol tomorrow to tell the Senate to PASS AN ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN NOW!! Meet at the McDonough bus turnaround at 11:50 to get on the 12:00 GUTS bus to travel with MFOL GU!

OUR FIRST GBM OF THE YEAR will be this Monday, 8 p.m., in ICC 206B!! Please come to learn more about MFOL GU and how YOU can get involved. We’ll go over what our club does, but most importantly we want to meet all of our new members and hear about your ideas and what you want to see from us this year!! See y’all tomorrow💙

We are excited to announce that we still have secretary and treasurer positions available! If you are interested, please fill out the google form in our bio! We encourage anyone and everyone in any grade to apply. The commitment is about 2 hours a week. There is absolutely no experience required, just a desire to create change! Please email [email protected] with any questions!!

We’re back at school, and that means the fear of violence has returned. It won’t go away as long as this chronic inaction continues.

Join us in Red Square tomorrow and Thursday to pledge to vote for gun safety candidates, learn more about MFOL at GU, and take immediate action.

Our statement on Tuesday evening’s incident.

The Supreme Court’s decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen is dangerous and deadly.

At a time when Americans are reeling from recent and persistent gun violence, the Supreme Court just elevated the Second Amendment over every other constitutional freedom. By ruling in favor of the gun lobby, the court reversed New York's ban on carrying concealed weapons, and stripped other states of the ability to enact policies that are proven to protect their citizens’ lives. This is not about responsible gun ownership, it's about universal gun ownership.

Angry? Pi**ed off? Disappointed? Channel what you’re feeling into action.

THE PEOPLE ARE SUPREME 🗣
Today, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the gun lobby in an extreme expansion of the second amendment.

This decision will lead to the unnecessary suffering and death of more Americans.

Join an urgent mass call at 7pm ET TONIGHT to mobilize with March For Our Lives organizers and community members across the country.

We are done waiting for action while more and more people become victims of gun violence. We are demanding action.

Join the March for our lives this Saturday. If you would like to join a group from Georgetown, meet outside the Smithsonian metro station at 11:45, we would love to see you!!

For those not in DC, there are hundreds of local marches across the country. You can find the nearest location on ’s website.

We marched for our lives four years ago. This times is different. We refuse to accept inaction and indifference from Congress. Everyone deserves to live a life free from the threat of gun violence.

4 years ago, we rose up together. 1 million of us demanded change. We built a movement.

We voted for new leaders. But our elected leaders grew comfortable, and gun deaths increased.

With the power of a movement comes the responsibility to use it. It's time to rise up once more and take to the streets. Now is the moment we march again, and we’re counting on you to show up on June 11th, 2022 in Washington, DC and cities across the country.

This is the breaking point. Enough is enough.

Text MARCH to 954-954 to RSVP and learn more.

Stay tuned for more info about a group going in DC.
