EPISODE #48 The Badass Grandmas for Democracy
BadAss Grandmas for Democracy (grandchildren not required!) is a movement, not an organization. We are fiercely committed to advancing high-functioning democracy in government for our grandchildren.
Like all grandmothers, we love unconditionally. We have no personal agenda. We share our wisdom and encourage initiative. We are fearless when nurturing and protecting our loves. We are authentic, fun, and persistent.
We invest our time, not spend it – there’s only so much of it left. We are the heart of democracy. And we are invincible.
How We Started BadAss Grandmas Dina, Ellen, and Kathy led a non-partisan ad hoc group of retired government executives and engaged citizens who wrote, petitioned, campaigned for, and won a citizen-initiated constitutional amendment, with strong support from volunteers, voters, and the national pro-democracy movement. North Dakota’s Article XIV includes deep disclosure requirements for independent campaign spending, prohibits six conflict-of-interest activities, and establishes a strong state ethic commission.
During the campaign stage, the BadAss Grandmas toured the state, shopping for caramel rolls, locally made sausage, and support for Measure 1, the ethics initiative that became Article XIV. Their opponents raised hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporations, cooperatives, and trade associations, attacked the proponents’ integrity and intelligence, mailed giant 4-color cards with dire prophecies. The Catholic Conference blanketed the parishes with anti-initiative messages, and the ACLU joined the opposition.
The BadAss Grandmas cohort – and the citizens! – won the election, but the opposition is far from conceding. Grandma’s work is never done.
The 2019 Unrig the System Summit in February presented us with the Courage Award. The great potential and widespread appeal of BadAss Grandmas became obvious there. So we declared a movement to engage all self-identified BadAss Grandmas in returning this country to the voters and rebuilding engaged citizenship in America .
Where We’re Going If you invite us, we will come! We are preparing a campaign to build the movement. If you want to be involved at this early stage, email us a [email protected]. Spread the word about this page, encourage people to comment, and send us news about your work to engage BadAss Grandmas in your world! More to come. https://badassgrandmas.org/
