About Us

Fight For Our Lives is a diverse, youth-driven group that stands to uphold leadership, promote change, and raise awareness about issues relating to gun violence and behavioral health services affecting New Mexican Communities.

Our Goals:

Actively combat the epidemics of gun violence and insufficient behavioral health access that disproportionately impacts communities of color and other minorities.

Engage community leaders and elected officials in restorative justice practices and other student-designed solutions to school safety that do not continue to further criminalize students of color and other minorities.

Engage middle and high school students into political conversations, civic engagement, and encourage voter registration.

Establish a platform to continue student activism that branches out beyond gun violence and combats other issues our youth face such as homelessness, substance abuse, and incarceration.
