Everytown for Gun Safety, 2/29/2

On February 29th my group and I traveled uptown to visit Everytown’s headquarters, as soon as we arrived there we were greeted, brought up in a futuristic elevator and sprawled out in front of us were many rows of people who work for Everytown and fight gun violence every day. We walked through their office until we reached a room filled with boxes full of t-shirts, hats and more. The person showing us around explained what we were going to be doing and although it just seemed like inventory, it was for a great cause, because we were counting different products that would be given out at their next rally in March. The Work that we were doing was helping them a lot because they would have had to get one of their employees to work for hours to do the amount of work that we finished in only a few. The fact that we were really making a difference felt really good because I think that it was the first time in my life when I really did make a difference for the better, at least like this. From doing this fieldwork we learned lots about their organization, the things they do and the massive difference that they make in the world. They also had an awesome snack room with fish tanks and anything that you could wish for!
