As gun violence continues to be a major flash point around the country, one of the nation's largest gun control advocacy groups has been pushing a program to get people who have been affected by a shooting to get involved with politics.

Everytown for Gun Safety started its Demand a Seat program in 2021 to train and assist grassroots volunteers and gun violence survivors running for office or interested in running campaigns.

The program is funded with over $1.5 million in investments and has had volunteers in every state, according to
Angela Ferrell-Zabala, executive director of Moms Demand Action, an Everytown division.

"It doesn't matter if it's Democratic or Republican gun owners. I talked to so many people and they're just tired of this," Ferrell-Zabala told ABC News.
