Journalist, Activist & Anti-Gun Advocate; Co-Founder of March for Our Lives
Delaney Tarr Biography
Delaney Tarr is a journalist, writer, and gun violence prevention advocate best known for co-founding the national movement March for Our Lives following the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where she was a student and survivor.
At just 17 years old, Tarr emerged as one of the prominent voices of a generation demanding action on gun violence. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, she joined fellow students in organizing protests, speaking with lawmakers, and mobilizing young people nationwide. She became a co-founder of March for Our Lives, helping lead a historic youth-led movement that brought hundreds of thousands of people to Washington, D.C., and inspired similar demonstrations across the country.
A longtime student journalist, Tarr went on to study at the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. She has written for publications including Teen Vogue, The Miami Herald, them., and SaportaReport, covering issues ranging from social justice and politics to the experiences of young activists.
Beyond her advocacy, Tarr has brought a thoughtful and often critical perspective to the conversation surrounding youth activism. Her writing has explored the pressures placed on young people thrust into the public spotlight, the commercialization of activism, and the emotional toll of being expected to turn personal trauma into a lifelong public mission. She has also contributed to the books "Glimmer of Hope: How Tragedy Sparked a Movement" and "We Say #NeverAgain."
Now based in Georgia, Tarr continues to work in journalism and writing while remaining engaged in conversations about gun violence prevention, responsible reporting, and the role of young people in shaping social change. Her experience offers a distinctive perspective on leadership, resilience, the power of storytelling, and the complicated relationship between activism and personal identity.
