游行为我们的生活，青年领导的组织致力于结束枪支暴力后2018佛罗里达州帕克兰高中枪击案，将在2024年的选举中支持副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯——这是该组织有史以来第一次支持政治候选人，也是年轻人越来越支持副总统的一个指标。
“作为全国最大的青年领导的运动之一，我们清楚地看到面前的挑战，我们相信卡玛拉·哈里斯是唯一适合迎接这一时刻的，”该组织在与ABC新闻分享的新闻稿中说。
该组织接着说，哈里斯是迎接这个国家目前所处的政治时刻的合适人选。
“我们需要一个热情的民主捍卫者，一个枪支暴力预防冠军，一个愿意倾听年轻人的声音，给我们一个席位，并为我们的未来而奋斗的领导人。新闻稿称:“我们相信，卡玛拉·哈里斯是支持我们、为我们应得国家而战的候选人和合适人选。”。
该组织支持哈里斯，因为她监督白宫枪支暴力预防办公室，并定期会见枪支暴力的倡导者和幸存者。
在接受美国广播公司采访时,“我们生活的三月”的执行董事娜塔莉·法尔说年轻选民，哈里斯现在是假定的民主党候选人这在乔·拜登总统名列榜首之前是没有过的。拜登周日宣布，他将不会在2024年竞选连任，而是支持哈里斯担任这一职务。
“在这次选举中，我们看到副总统哈里斯周围充满了活力;不可否认。我想每个人现在都看到了，”法尔对美国广播公司新闻说。
“我只是认为，特别是年轻人，他们没有真正看到自己在拜登竞选中以他们想要的方式得到代表或反映。这并不是说拜登总统没有伟大的成就……但我认为我们需要一个能够迎接这一时刻的人，一个能够迎接挑战的人，一个能够批评唐纳德·特朗普并真正击败他侵蚀我们所有机构和民主的努力的人。”
随着11月的临近，哈里斯和前总统唐纳德·特朗普都将寻求令人垂涎的年轻人的选票，特别是在预计将是一场激烈竞争的选举中。
特朗普竞选团队全国新闻秘书卡罗林·莱维特表示，这位前总统将努力帮助“年轻人实现他们的美国梦。”莱维特抨击哈里斯和民主党制定的政策创造了“一个更昂贵、分裂和危险的国家，让年轻的美国人在其中成长。”
共和党全国委员会一直致力于在选举前争取年轻选民。他们在本月早些时候的党代会上邀请了有影响力的年轻人，并有一个专门面向年轻人的项目。
福尔斯告诉美国广播公司新闻,“为我们的生活而游行”将动员年轻选民通过敲门、电话银行和创意活动为哈里斯和其他落选候选人投票。
该组织的支持来自于年轻选民和组织动员起来支持哈里斯。
明天的选民Z世代领导的组织，吸引美国年轻人周日宣布支持哈里斯，并努力动员年轻选民支持她。
在他们宣布后，该组织表示，周日筹集了12.5万美元，这是有史以来最好的筹款日。
“网上和实地围绕着副总统哈里斯有这么多真正的兴奋，现在我们正在将这些转化为政治行动，”明天选民的新闻秘书杰克·罗贝尔在接受美国广播公司新闻采访时说。
罗贝尔说，围绕哈里斯竞选活动的兴奋和能量可能会威胁到特朗普和他的政治运作。
“这不仅仅是迷因;这是破纪录的筹款活动，成千上万的人加入Zoom calls组织起来，人们与他们的朋友谈论投票，明天的选民正在引导这一势头，以确保我们在11月份有创纪录的青年选民投票率。”
March For Our Lives endorses Kamala Harris, the group's first-ever political endorsement
March For Our Lives, the youth-led organization dedicated to ending gun violence following the2018 Parkland, Florida, high school shooting, will be endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election -- the first time the organization has ever endorsed a political candidate, and an indicator of the mounting youth support for the vice president.
"As one of the largest youth-led movements in the nation, we are clear-eyed about the challenge ahead, and we believe that Kamala Harris is uniquely suited to meet this moment," the group said in a news release shared first with ABC News.
The group goes on to say that Harris is the right candidate to meet the political moment the country currently finds itself in.
"We need an ardent defender of democracy, a gun violence prevention champion, and a leader who will listen to young people, give us a seat at the table, and fight for our future. We believe that Kamala Harris is that candidate and the right person to stand up for us and fight for the country we deserve," the news release read.
The organization's endorsement of Harris comes as she oversees the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and has met regularly with advocates and survivors of gun violence.
In an interview with ABC News, Natalie Fall, executive director of March For Our Lives, said there's energy brewing fromyouth voters with Harris now being the presumptive Democratic nomineethat wasn't seen before with President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket. Biden announced Sunday that will not be running for reelection in the 2024 race -- instead endorsing Harris for the job.
"We see a lot of energy around Vice President Harris in this election; there's no denying that. I think everybody's seeing it right now," Fall said to ABC News.
"I just think young people in particular didn't really see themselves represented or reflected in the Biden ticket in the way that they wanted. It's not to say that President Biden hasn't had great accomplishments … But I think we need someone who can meet this moment and who is up to the challenge of taking Donald Trump to task and really defeating his effort to erode all of our institutions and our democracy."
The coveted youth vote is something both Harris and former President Donald Trump will seek as November approaches -- especially in an election that's expected to be a close contest.
Trump Campaign National press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the former president will work to help "young people achieve their American dream." Leavitt slammed Harris and the Democratic Party for creating policies that have created "a more expensive, divided, and dangerous country for young Americans to grow up in."
The Republican National Committee has been working to court youth voters ahead of the election. They had youth influencers at the party's convention earlier this month and have a program dedicated to youth outreach.
Falls told ABC News that March For Our Lives will mobilize young voters to cast ballots for Harris and other down-ballot candidates through door-knocking, phone banking and creative campaigns.
The group's endorsement comes as youth voters and organizations mobilize behind Harris.
Voters of Tomorrow, aGen Z-led organization that engages young Americansin politics and government, announced on Sunday their endorsement of Harris and their efforts to mobilize youth voters behind her.
Following their announcement, the group said it raised $125,000 on Sunday -- its best fundraising day ever.
"There's so much authentic excitement surrounding Vice President Harris online and on the ground, and now we're channeling that into political action," Jack Lobel, press secretary for Voters of Tomorrow, said to ABC News in an interview.
Lobel said the excitement and energy surrounding Harris' campaign is something that likely intimidates Trump and his political operation.
"It's not just memes; it is record-breaking fundraising hauls, tens of thousands of people joining Zoom calls to organize, people talking to their friends about voting, and Voters of Tomorrow are channeling this momentum to ensure we have record youth voter turnout in November."
