Full Episode
One, yes, mental health is at an all-time low, but it's also just increase of diagnosing teenagers when they have depression or anxiety. It's like that's often a very situational thing. Why are we putting kids in a box and then prescribing them something that they're then learning to externalize their ability to self-regulate and self-soothe and be resilient?
Okay, guys, got Bridget here, COO of Maha Alliance and Maha Action. A lot going on in your world. Thanks for coming on. Oh, yeah. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah, I'm sure you're all over the place lately. Yep, exciting times. DC a lot, Austin, Texas, here in Vegas, LA, all over the place. Nice. How long have you been with Bobby and the movement?
So I started working with Bobby in April of 2023 when he announced that he was running for president. And, you know, it was a small group of us figuring out how to set up a campaign website and file paperwork with the FEC, that kind of thing. And then his big announcement speech in Boston, which really is when things really took off.
And then shortly after he announced his independent presidential run in Philadelphia, I believe October 2023. He asked me to be his chief of staff and sort of take a more, more of a leadership role on his campaign, which was incredible. So yes, April, 2023 started working with Bobby directly. Yeah. You guys had an uphill battle from there.
Definitely. It was huge. And it was more and more uphill the farther we got in terms of things like ballot access. You know, for independent candidates, you don't just automatically get on the ballot. You have to collect a certain amount of signatures in each state. It's a unique experience.
requirement in each state from, you know, how big the paper size of the petition has to be to the color ink that's used. Wow, the color of the ink matters.
Yeah, yeah. And the DNC sued us, I want to say, a dozen or more times for things like the starting collecting signatures before you have a vice president announced or where, you know, districts for collecting signatures, zip codes, you know, you have to, in New York, for example, you have to have a certain amount in each borough. It's crazy.
So, you know, it was an uphill battle, but it was also such an incredible one. You know, our grassroots support was really the backbone of the movement. By the end of the campaign, we had 100,000 plus active volunteers out in crazy weather conditions, collecting signatures, tabling at parades, I was driving through the middle of nowhere, Colorado once on a Saturday afternoon.
And there was this group of maybe a dozen volunteers holding a banner over a freeway that said RFK for president. So, you know, while we had those hurdles of being an independent campaign, we had this passion and fiery movement like never seen before. And that same movement is now, you know, getting behind Maha related legislation and helping us on the ground. Yeah.
