Our Story
Following the MSD shooting in early 2018, we decided to join the Parkland student activists and take action. We contacted administrators and created petitions to plan a district-wide walkout in our local schools for common sense gun control. We also held a town fundraiser to raise awareness and funds for Parkland, raising over $2,600 in three hours.
This event inspired us to create Students for Social Change, a student-run and non-partisan organization of motivated youth activists who want to make the world more just and equal. Since the fundraiser, we have expanded our cause to include not only gun reform, but also other important social issues we feel strongly about. As your future voters and lawmakers, we are committed to using our voices to create positive social change.

As of May 2018, Students for Social Change is a part of the Women's March Empower Coalition. We are proud to belong to this network of activist organizations and excited for our future with the group!
