Our Evaluation Process

1.     Request a Questionnaire.

• Email sd4races@gmail.com to receive our official Questionnaire.
  

2.     Submit your Questionnaire.

• Our Questionnaire asks for your thoughts on gun violence and GVP topics as well as any relevant work or public statements. Many of its questions are open-ended, and you can attach relevant materials, such as fliers and articles.
  

3.     Await review.

• SD4GVP will review your submitted Questionnaire and any relevant materials. We are volunteers, with many races to look at, and this process can take time.
  

4.     Receive notification.

• After review of the above, SD4GVP will notify you if you have been designated. We will then work with you to assist and coordinate any announcements or future collaborations. We prioritize races with the highest potential to address our country’s gun violence epidemic.
