March For Our Lives Iowa State Team 2021-2022 Application
The focus of March For Our Lives Iowa is centered around fighting to end gun violence while encouraging youth civic engagement. We do this by working on both sides of the aisle for common sense gun legislation. We want legislators from all parties to take a stand in ending gun violence, ensuring public safety, and supporting our youth.

This is a nationally acclaimed non-profit organization. With chapters in all 50 states. We are a 501(c)(4) which entails that this organization is not organized for profit rather, it must be operated exclusively to promote social welfare. Started by Parkland survivors, this movement is geared towards encouraging students to get involved with politics.

We spurred a historic youth turnout in the 2018 midterm elections, with a 47% increase over the last midterm election and the highest percentage of youth voter turnout ever.

It’s also important to realize that March For Our Lives is a non-partisan organization. This means that we don’t identify with any party or political beliefs, instead we focus on a cause: getting the youth civically active.
