Grassroots Law PAC is a federal political action committee (PAC) that helps elect candidates who are committed to reducing mass incarceration and police violence.

While action at the federal level is extremely important, we will support candidates at every level who are committed to advancing justice for their communities. The hundreds of local, state, and federal systems that make up our criminal legal system are administered by people in positions of power who have shown they are willing to do whatever it takes to maintain these systems, so it is more important than ever that we replace these bad actors.

Because the systems and structures we’re up against are deeply organized, we must commit to being even more organized and leveraging our skills, expertise, and passions to elect people who will radically transform the criminal legal system in the United States.

These plans for change need to be well-resourced in order to take on our opponents who have big money. If you can, click here to make a donation.

Tim Gorman, City Council District 2  

Tim believes Chattanooga has a rare opportunity to move forward—not just as a brand, but as a city of 184,000 people. 

If elected he’s ready to hit the ground running to help families and businesses struggling due to Covid-19. Beyond that, he understands there are still whole neighborhoods in Chattanooga, including some in District 2, that have been struggling for decades, and are overlooked time and again.

He knows that if we want to make meaningful progress, we can’t go back to business as usual. It’s time for us to move forward together. All 184,000 of us.
