Corin criticized the NRA and gun manufacturers for touting the Ideal Conceal, a handgun that folds up to resemble a smart phone. She faulted the NRA for "enforcing the normality of shooting other people"; further, she argued that police, confronting people including persons of color with smart phones, might believe that their phones were weapons, and shoot them accidentally. visiting over 100 communities across 24-30 states and registering tens of thousands of new voters while amplifying gun safety advocacy via rallies and town halls. One notable stop in Chicago included youth activists and public figures like Chance the Rapper and Gabby Giffords, emphasizing mental health, trauma support, and voter engagement.

After graduating from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Corin enrolled at Harvard University in 2019, where she studied Government. During this period she stepped back from day-to-day organizing to focus on her education, but remained involved as a strategist and spokesperson. Corin served as one of the organization’s public spokespeople, promoting the march through national media appearances. In June 2022, she was interviewed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to amplify the group’s demands for federal gun safety legislation. After completing her undergraduate degree at Harvard in 2023 and later pursuing graduate studies at the University of Oxford, Corin returned to March for Our Lives in a formal leadership role. In March 2025 she was named Executive Director of March for Our Lives, overseeing both 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) advocacy arm. In this capacity, she has led a major organizational restructuring and strategic planning effort. In 2025, Corin and March for Our Lives launched a campaign against U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, criticizing what they described as her hypocrisy on gun violence and her role in rolling back federal gun safety progress. == Works ==
