Shannon Watts of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America - a podcast by Michael Franti

Shannon Watts is the founder of the nation’s largest grassroots group fighting against gun violence, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. With over 6 million supporters and a chapter in every state, Moms Demand Action and its partner, Everytown for Gun Safety, have stopped the NRA’s priority legislation in statehouses more than 90% of the time, passed hundreds of gun safety laws across the country, changed corporate policies, and educated Americans about secure gun storage. Watts is also an active board member of Emerge America, one of the nation’s leading organizations for recruiting and training women to run for office. Her book, Fight Like a Mother: How a Grassroots Movement Took on the Gun Lobby and Why Women Will Change the World, was released in May of 2019.
