Introduction.
March For Our Lives is on a journey to truly support and center the people and communities most impacted by gun violence. Shifting resources through mutual aid is just one way of doing that. We are launching Aid & Alliance, a resource sharing program that will distribute nearly $500k to support anti-violence work led by BIPOC youth organizations and activists on the ground. The spirit of aid and alliance extends beyond this individual program—it is the guiding vision that will carry us forward in 2021.
The Aid & Alliance mutual aid program seeks to:
- Decenter whiteness in the gun violence prevention movement;
- Build meaningful and lasting relations with BIPOC Youth Leaders;
- Train MFOL Members on how to be better comrades for this Movement;
- Fill in gaps for communities where life inequities have hardened the impact of COVID-19; and
- Take collective action on Gun Culture; Public Health; Armed Supremacy; Poverty; Political Apathy and Corruption
