How to participate if you're unable to march

If, for any reason, you're unable to march this weekend, there are still numerous ways to take action on gun control.

Tumblr will be getting a giant makeover on the day of the march, embedding a livestream of the march on Washington, D.C., at the top of its website on Saturday. It'll also be surfacing content related to the protest and gun violence prevention, all in partnership with Everytown for Gun Safety, an advocacy organization working to end gun violence and build safer communities. Tumblr will also keep users engaged in the issue through the midterm elections and beyond.

You can also donate to notable, established organizations that are working to regulate gun control. One such group is the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, which has the goal of cutting the number of gun-related deaths in half by 2025. Another is the Giffords Courage to Fight Gun Violence, co-funded by former Arizona House Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who survived a mass shooting in 2011.

Here are a few other organizations to keep in mind:

• Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence

• Everytown for Gun Safety

• Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America

• States United to Prevent Gun Violence

Beyond that, you can always contact your local state representatives and members of Congress to show support. You can make your voice heard in Congress by filling out this form.
