"One board member of color resigned after declaring there was no place for him at MFOL, according to the suit. They could not be reached for comment.".

"In a section on difficulties posed by 'frenemies,' the report criticizes a leading gun violence prevention group, Everytown for Gun Safety, for 'being obnoxious about creating space' and undermining MFOL. Still, one person floated being absorbed into Everytown. ".

"Some people interviewed by the consultant worried that the group’s often angry tone and what they saw as a simplistic 'guns are bad' message — although founding elements of the organization’s identity — had turned people away."

"Another concern was maintaining authenticity as a youth crusade when so much direct support came from an older demographic, particularly white women. 'At one point, 80 percent of our following was middle-aged white women. '"

"Former staffers said that the board wanted one-off events that would spotlight the group and its cause, while staff were invested in the steady work of producing long-term results.".

"When questioned about perceived racism by staff earlier this year, board members insisted that they remained committed to serving those hit hardest by gun violence and defended their actions, while saying they were stymied by the group’s current course."

"Board members were wary of taking a position on Gaza, for instance, failing to appreciate that silence would harm the group’s credibility with its primary demographic, [Ford] said."

"A few people said MFOL needed to acknowledge that donors respond more to white kids affected by school shootings than to gun violence in marginalized communities."

"Some participants said the group’s message had become diluted, in part because it weighed in on issues like climate change, abortion, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This detracted from gun violence efforts and hampered fundraising, they said.".

"'We were all so convinced that we were going to rise up and not only crush Trump, but really show how much the youth care what’s going on in society with respect to gun violence,' one comment reads. 'That didn’t happen.'".

"A source who’s still involved with the group and requested anonymity to share details of its financial situation, said that, by early this year, finances were dire and operating funds nearly gone.".

"In its first year, MFOL reported $18.7 million in revenue to the Internal Revenue Service, an annual total it has never again come close to matching. The group was in the red by 2020, and it has spent more than it collected every year since.".

"The lawsuit, filed on July 18 in New York, alleges that the 13 terminated staffers are victims of retaliation for having voiced opposition to racial discrimination on the part of the board of directors — a charge the group denies in a court filing.".

"Leadership and staff struggled with conflicting views on mission, race and racism, and fundraising. Similar strife has convulsed other liberal advocacy groups, and several issues that challenged MFOL also confront the broader gun violence prevention movement.".

"On March 20 of this year, just before the seven-year anniversary of its celebrated rallies, MFOL terminated 13 of its 16 full-time employees.".

"Today, March for Our Lives is in disarray. Funding shortfalls and a rift between its board and younger staffers. have strained the organization. And a recently filed federal lawsuit accuses the board of racism and retaliation."
