Jaclyn Corin, a Parkland survivor and one of the organization’s co-founders, plans to focus on digital strategy and youth mobilization. March for Our Lives, the youth-led gun violence prevention organization, announced Thursday that it is laying off 13 of 16 full-time staffers. The group is naming as its new executive director Jaclyn Corin, 24, one of the organization’s original co-founders and a Parkland survivor. “We are facing financial challenges as an organization, not unlike many nonprofit advocacy organizations in this time,” Corin said in an exclusive interview with The 19th. “I am sure things would look differently with a different outcome of the election, but these are the systems and circumstances in which we have to make adjustments based on the financial situation we find ourselves in. It is incredibly unfortunate that these cuts have to happen.” Democratic donors have significantly pulled back funding for both Democratic candidates and progressive organizations in the wake of Republican Donald Trump’s triumph in the 2024 presidential election. According to tax filings, in 2023, the group spent $1.75 million, more than the $1.42 million it brought in that year, almost all from donations. March for Our Lives declined to share financial information for the 2024 fiscal year.The timing is definitely raising eyebrows, and many believe something fishy is going on—possibly even connected to the downfall of USAID. But while the rumors are flying, it’s only fair to note there’s no solid proof (yet) that this is why March for Our Lives is collapsing.
At the end of the day, this collapse isn’t just about bad fundraising—it’s about bad messaging, bad leadership, and a movement built on emotion instead of reality. David Hogg’s group chased the headlines, lost the plot, and now it’s running out of money and relevance. Turns out, when you spend more time preaching than telling the truth, even your own side stops listening and funding the fake fight Read more at: Revolver.newsWhen that USAID money dries up....
