Propelled by and fed up with what they see as a lack of progress when it comes to addressing America’s epidemic of gun violence, many activists like Brooks, who have felt the effects of gun violence first hand, are embracing a new tactic: running for elected office. For political organizers, this group represents a promising new cohort, whose members, if elected, may finally move the needle on gun reform.
“There is a new wave of activists-turned-candidates, particularly among women and mothers, who are no longer willing to stand by,” Brooks said. “How can we not think about our kids?”
Gun reform advocates figure out how representative government works
So many problems could be sorted if Americans gave a shit about politics more then once every four years
My guy, I am fighting just to survive out here. The process to run for office is difficult and expensive. You need an attorney to help you run for local office or you’ll mess up the paperwork. I don’t have thousands of dollars to do it and I’m not charismatic in the slightest. In fact, I’m good at getting people to hate me instantly.
