The Inspiring Story of March Fourth and The Woman Behind It: Meet Kitty Brandtner

Today for our last episode of this season on Well, Not Perfect, I have a timely and important episode for you. 

In response to many recent events involving gun violence, today’s guest Kitty Brandtner went to social media with one thing to say: “You messed with the wrong mom.” 

The events following are nothing but heroic and nearly impossible. Kitty, who is a working mom of three kids under 5, became the lead activist for March Fourth in the span of just a few days. She and an amazing group of volunteers started March Fourth two days after the tragic Highland Park shooting on the Fourth of July. The mission behind this organization is simple: to federally ban assault weapons and to do it right now.

In today’s episode you will learn:

1. Who the woman is behind March Fourth 
2. How you too can have the tenacity to do the seemingly impossible
3. What to do, if or when, you get called to join a social movement that lives close to your heart. 

And before we get into the episode, I just want to remind everyone that these conversations can be uncomfortable and triggering. I recommend you take your time to listen and understand your reaction to this conversation and seek out local resources if you want to get involved. Also, if you feel overwhelmed after listening to this episode, take a break, do some self-care and be gentle on yourself. 

With that being said, welcome to the final episode of Season 3 of Well, Not Perfect.
