March for Our Lives, the gun control advocacy group started after the 2018 Parkland shooting, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, the organization’s first endorsement of an elected official ever.
“The stakes couldn’t possibly be higher in this election. Trump has shown us time and time again who he is: A dangerous demagogue who wants to take us back in time, strip us of our rights, and give a blank check over to the extremist gun lobby. We can’t let that happen,” the group wrote in a statement released on its website. “We need someone to stand up boldly to him and his cronies and fight for our lives tooth and nail. A proven fighter and a bold thinker who can inspire young people and create the future that we KNOW we deserve.”
The statement went on, “That’s why we’re pleased to make our first endorsement EVER: March for Our Lives endorses Kamala Harris for President of the United States.”
