BadAss Grandmas want you to get involved for democracy

An effort that started with four North Dakota women pushing for a state ethics commission has evolved into a larger movement to promote democracy.

The BadAss Grandmas for Democracy is a nonpartisan, grassroots group that aims to get people more involved in promoting good governance.

The group’s to-do list includes empowering voters, encouraging people to run for office and supporting ethical candidates from any party.

“We want to be a movement that will engage people locally,” said Lyn Dockter-Pinnick, who facilitates the group’s monthly virtual meetings. “Because democracy isn’t a spectator sport. It has to involve citizen participation.”
