In July 2022 March Fourth—a non-partisan grassroots movement committed to eradicating mass shootings in America - was formed out of Highland Park, IL. Through advocacy, March Fourth united individuals from over a dozen communities affected by mass shootings.

Witnessing the profound impact of mass shootings on communities, the restorative influence of connection, and the shared needs and experiences of survivors, Aftermath was born.

Aftermath is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to support communities impacted by mass shootings and to share stories told by survivors about their experience living in the aftermath. We are a volunteer-led organization guided by an advisory council composed of individuals from diverse communities across the country who are living through the aftermath of a mass shooting.
