Red, Blue, and Brady

17: Virginia is for Gun Violence Prevention Lovers


Listen Later

JJ, JP, and Christian team up to talk about Virginia elections--namely, how a gun violence majority got elected in Virginia for the first time on record. If Virginia is now a state for gun violence prevention lovers, what does that mean?

Today in this Minisode, we cover:

  • what a gun violence prevention majority means;
  • why the Virginia election matters so much; 
  • why do people keep saying "if we can do it here we can do it anywhere;" and
  • how survivors and politicians really made this issue their own. 

JJ, JP, and Christian also discuss what it's like to do grassroots organizing, how to run a campaign in 2019, and what Virginia signals to the rest of America.
