Save Our Schools: March for our Lives Silent Auction

With the recent active shooter scare at UMass Lowell on 9/3, the Evergreen High School shooting in Colorado on 9/10, as well as number of other recent shooting incidents, the local artist community is doing their part to make our community safer. While the UMass Lowell shooter on September 3 turned out to be a hoax, the fear that was created was very real.

March for our Lives is a student-led organization founded by survivors of the Parkland, Florida high school shootings in 2018. They lead demonstrations in support of gun control legislation and their mission is to end gun violence in our lifetime. They have championed gun violence prevention legislation at all levels of the government to save lives and create a better, safer future.

Following the horrific shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde, March for our Lives led a protest in DC. Just a day after MFOL marched, Senator Chris Murphy announced a bipartisan gun reform package with the support of 10 Republicans, and just weeks later, they successfully passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first federal gun safety law in nearly 30 years.

A charity artwork auction/fundraiser event run by local-artist, Lisa Nelson will help raise money for March for our Lives.

For two weeks (3/7-3/21), display tables will be setup featuring artwork donated by a number of local professional artists along with silent auction sign-up sheets. Visitors can bid on these items.

At the end of the two weeks, a fundraiser event will be held at Fivesparks on 3/21.

All money raised will be donated to March for our Lives.
