Future Coalition is a coalition of youth-led activist organizations focused on social change.[1][2] It was co-founded by two of the main organizations that grew out of the response to the shootings in Parkland, FL: 50 Miles More and National School Walkout.[3] The Future Coalition has been incubated by March On, the coalition of Women's Marches, as their “youth arm.” [4][5]

The coalition consists of youth-led activist organizations focused on issues such as gun violence prevention, climate change, and social and racial justice.[6][7] They include: 18by Vote, National Youth Rights Association, Bridge the Divide, Sunrise Movement, Box the Ballot, Students for Gun Legislation, Chicago Fuerte, Coalition of Students, DC Teens Action, Embracing Green, Global Minds, Indivisible Students, iMatter, March For Our Lives National, Moco4Change, March for Our Lives, National Die In, National School Walkout, Orange Generation, Parents Promise to Kids, Platform, Redefy, Shattering the Silence, Student Voice, Team Enough, Triangle People Power, Youth Empower, Zero Hour, and 50 Miles More.[8][4][9][10][11]

Activist and social entrepreneur Katie Eder (founder of 50 Miles More) founded the organization and currently serves as the Board Chair.[12][13] Corryn Grace Freeman, a Florida-based social activist, joined as the organization's Executive Director in May 2023.[14]
