Mobilizing MSD Alumni is a group of more than 11,000 alumni who have come together to support the students and Parkland community, and to advocate for change. The graduates of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are leaders in our communities with diverse resources and skills. We have already begun amazing initiatives nationally and regionally, including fundraising, raising awareness and advocating for legislative changes – and there are many more to come.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
