REDWOOD CITY MARCH & RALLY
MFOL Redwood City June 11th Flyer.pdfMARCH FOR OUR LIVES SF BAY AREA
Co-Hosts: MFOL Sequoia Union & MFOL San José
Nineteen children and two adults were killed in a horrifying spree of gun violence at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24th, 2022 in what is now the second-deadliest school shooting in the United States.
In the face of this tragedy, the Senate is stalling in passing universal background checks for gun ownership. Even as the nation cries out for justice, the government fails to act. Hence, it falls to the youth of the future to take up the mantle and push for meaningful change. Change starts with a first step. We call on you to take the first step and stand with us (and other MFOL chapters nationwide) on June 11th for an in-person march in Redwood City!
