John, gun violence is top of mind ahead of the November election and an issue that has far-reaching, catastrophic consequences from corner to corner of our nation. The only way we will see change is to keep fighting and elect leaders to office who will put in the work to make our communities safer.
Leaders like Rep. Lucy McBath – who lost her son to gun violence – urged us at the DNC to run for office because, simply put, “we shouldn’t have to live like this.”
Elected officials like Rep. McBath and Run for Something alumni running for public office across the country have this in common: They say enough is enough. Because they aren’t running for themselves, they’re running for their communities to bring long-lasting, positive change on the issues impacting their friends and neighbors.
From passing gun violence prevention policies in our state legislatures to pushing gun safety measures on our school boards that will protect our kids, Run for Something candidates are working toward laws and legislation that make their communities a safer place.
Run for Something is a grassroots-powered organization that recruits and empowers
young progressives running for local office, with the goal of winning permanent
power for decades to come. We've won over 1,000 elections
by relying on support from grassroots donors pitching in a little to create
big change. Please chip in now to help our candidates continue running and winning.
