Every year, gun violence kills almost 33,000 Americans and injures 75,962 more. More than 17,000 children and teens are shot, many of them fatally. And over 455,000 people are victims of gun crimes. These statistics are more than just numbers – they represent a very real human toll. Although most of these shootings don’t make headlines, each victim has a story – a family, friends, a life cut short.
"For decades, witches have been moving slowly out of the shadows and spreading good magic across the planet. In 2016, we were poised to claim our power in a new way. Sensing their time was at an end, the forces of capitalism, patriarchal greed and white supremacy united for one last gasp, producing our present circumstances — Nazis in the streets, our earth in peril, and an actual rapist in the White House. It's not great out there these days. But in 2018, we will fight for the change we deserve to see. In 2018, we will support progressive candidates, advocate for justice, and, most importantly, vote, witch."

They committed themselves to full-time organizing from the bottom-up, and with this approach empowered older efforts at change and facilitated the emergence of powerful new grassroots voices. Before SNCC, with only a few exceptions, notably the Southern Negro Youth Congress (SNYC) during the 1930s and ’40s, civil rights leadership always meant grownups.
