An unprecedented endorsement from an anti-gun violence group is being spotlighted by Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign.
March for Our Lives, the advocacy organization founded in the wake of the mass murder at a Parkland high school six years ago, is endorsing for the first time in the wake of Harris saying this week that she backed universal background checks, red flag laws and an assault weapons ban.
Harris, per her campaign, is “proud to earn this historic endorsement” and “committed to working closely with young people to end the epidemic of gun violence.”
“Harris heads the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, and she worked for years in the Senate and as a prosecutor to keep guns out of our schools and off our streets. In stark contrast, Donald Trump promises to weaken regulations on guns, sides with the NRA over our children’s safety, and reduced funding for public safety in every single one of his budget proposals,” added Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez.
“Kamala Harris has proven herself to be a thoughtful and forceful leader on gun violence, who has time and again listened to young people and fought for our lives,” said David Hogg, co-founder of March for Our Lives.
“Given her strong record on gun safety and prioritizing youth voices during her time in office, I’m proud that Kamala Harris will receive March For Our Lives’ first-ever endorsement, and I’m so excited for our work to mobilize young people for her campaign.”
The group expects its “youth-focused agenda” to make up the “margin of victory” for Harris and down ballot candidates, including in the Sunshine State.
“March for Our Lives will work to mobilize young people across the country to support Vice President Harris and other down-ballot candidates, with a particular focus on the states and races where we can make up the margin of victory — in Arizona, New York, Michigan, and Florida,” said Natalie Fall, Executive Director of March for Our Lives.
“We are ready to double down on this commitment and elect the first woman, first Black woman, and the first person of South Asian descent to become our next president.”

Saw Democrats today defacing statues in Washington DC. Also witnessed Democrats burning the American flag and then raising the Palestinian Flag. Also watched on the news Democrats breaking into and looting stores in Kalifornia. The Democrats are trying to portray super liberal Ka Mana as tough on crime. Good luck with that. The honeymoon will be short lived. Joe looked like he was dead tonight. He is so weak he can barely speak. Ka Mana is going to have to explain her role in the coverup as well.

100% lies. Typical MAGA/t post. All lies, conjecture and propaganda.

How do you know the protesters were Democrats? Republicans try to blame Democrats for everything, but the facts tell a different story. It’s Trump who’s always advocating for violence. The young man who tried to assassinate him was a registered Republican. Trump got a taste of the violence he advocates toward others. Trump tried to overturn a lawful election in 2020. He tried to extort the president of Ukraine. He always gets others to do his dirty work for him. He’s a felon convicted of financial fraud. The truth is not Trump’s friend, that’s why he lies. He learned to lie, cheat and steal from his father and he has passed it down to his children. This is well documented. He’s the emperor with no clothes. A child can see through his lies, but his followers delude themselves. Kamala Harris has been a prosecutor, attorney general of the largest state in the nation, US Senator for the largest state in the country, and US Vice President. Like Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris is much more qualified to be president than Trump. Hillary Clinton beat Trump by 3 million popular votes, but unfortunately we have this undemocratic Electoral College that is how we unfairly decide elections. It’s a remnant of appeasement after the Civil War. Trump is unfit for office because he’s of low moral character. He lies, cheats and steals. He cares nothing about fair play. He thinks law abiding citizens and people who serve in the military are “suckers.” He’s been found liable for rape and slander, for which a jury of his peers in New York City ordered him to pay $83 million dollars to his victim. World leaders laugh at him behind his back because he’s ignorant about history. He recently admitted that he didn’t even know what NATO was before he became president through foreign interference in the 2016 election. All he knows how to do is bluster, brag and BS. He’s nothing more than a big wind bag. He can talk about himself for an hour and a half. He cares nothing about voters. He said he didn’t need people to vote for him. How is that possible? Because he intends to cheat. MAGA state legislators are gaming the electoral system in their states. If they’re successful at their dirty political tricks and Trump becomes president through fraud and deceit, we will never have another fair election because Project 2025 will change our country into a MAGA dictatorship. We, the people, will not be represented, we will be fleeced by the president for life. When Trump met the dictator of North Korea, he said he “liked the idea of being president for life.” Trump only cares about money. When he was president, he acted like our tax dollars were his piggy bank. He signed his name to checks that came from the US Treasury. No other president has ever done that. When he says his prosecution for crimes he committed as president is unprecedented, he neglects to mention that the reason it’s unprecedented is because he’s the first president to commit crimes in office, except Richard Nixon. Then, Nixon’s successor, and his vice president, Gerald Ford pardoned him. Trump tried to overthrow an election. No other US president has done that. He took classified documents to FL when he left the White House and refused to return them when asked to do so by the federal government. No other president has done that. He incited an insurrection and told his followers to “fight like hell,” against Capitol Police and other law enforcement officers. He hates our country and our laws and our members of law enforcement and the military. He claimed he had bone spurs to avoid military service. He serves no one but himself. His followers are being fooled and led by the nose by a con man who runs his “business” and this country like a mafia don. He says his efforts to extort people are “perfect phone calls” because he doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong, legal and illegal. Like Richard Nixon, he thinks that whatever he does must be legal because he’s the president. Richard Nixon broke the law and resigned. Donald Trump broke the law and cries about being prosecuted because he didn’t resign and get pardoned by Mike Pence. Instead, he was impeached and found not guilty by his toadies in the US Senate. He’s not being victimized, he’s being held accountable for his crimes because Republicans in the US Senate didn’t enforce their own laws. If they had, we wouldn’t have to defend democracy against a wannabe petty dictator, who will seek revenge against anyone who stood up to his bullying. Trump is a disgusting disgrace and embarrassment to this country. How people can actually believe his lies is impossible for me to understand. I’ve never been that gullible.

Your post just reeks of desperation. My advice would be to spend less time watching the fox news. That other doddering old fool, Rupert Murdoch, surely appreciates you eyeballs on his advertising but all you’re doing is making him richer and yourself miserable.

Kamala Harris will be a forceful proponent for women and men concerned with protecting the civil rights of women. This is a popular majority.
The ongoing machinations of DeSantis & friends to subvert both the women’s reproduction and recreational marijuana referenda in Florida is going to hurt MAGA in Nov.

Why does VP Harris support mass killings of babies by elective abortions?

Why should you be allowed to interfere with a woman’s reproductive choices?

Gun violence in America is horrendous and unacceptable. It is the leading cause of death for children and adolescents. Vice President Harris is willing to do something about it. We’re long overdue for sensible gun reform – but the gun manufacturers stuff the pockets of Republicans with obscene sums of money, so all they say is “thoughts and prayers” which does not stop the carnage. Enough. The Parkland students are now of age – and shifting the conversation. Our kids are traumatized by mandatory active shooter drills – our churches, concert venues and stores are open shooting ranges.
Politicians demand no guns anywhere near them. Shouldn’t we, the people, all deserve that same measure of safety and protection?

I find it interesting that whacko influencers can be as clueless & stupid as David Hogg, and still find acceptance & support from the equally dim Leftists & Progressive-Socialist Useful Idiots out there.
If a Conservative tried to step into the spotlight with even remotely as bad, the Left would go ballistic, and the people with Common Sense on the Right would simply ignore them.
It’s one hell of a double standard!

Burning the US flag is a legitimate example of free speech, according to the Supreme Court. Or, haven’t MAGAs heard?

Unbelievable for any person to think it’s “stupid” for David Hogg to be outraged and politically active as a result of his classmates being brutally mass-murdered by a guy wielding a military-style assault weapon.
David Hogg and his colleagues are brave American heroes for fighting to end gun violence. No young person should have to bear witness to what they went through – and be haunted by that horrific memory every day of their lives.
