Jaclyn Corin (born October 27, 2000 in Boca Raton, Florida) is an American activist against gun violence and the current Executive Director of March for Our Lives as of March 2025. A survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018, she became one of the movement’s earliest organizers. The day after the shooting, Corin began planning a lobbying trip to Florida’s capital; less than a week later, she brought more than 100 classmates by bus to Tallahassee, Florida to meet with legislators.
She went on to co-found March for Our Lives, which began as a nationwide demonstration on March 24, 2018, and grew into a sustained youth-led movement. The organization now operates as two nonprofit entities: the March For Our Lives Foundation, a 501(c)(3) focused on education and community programs, and the March For Our Lives Action Fund, a 501(c)(4) that advances gun safety legislation and advocacy. In this work, Corin has been a vocal critic of politicians funded by the National Rifle Association.
Corin was included in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2018.
