How can I go about starting a SRA chapter in my home state

I don't want to give away too much info, (although you could probably figure it out from context clues and my profile history) but my state is currently going through a gubernatorial election this year. The new incoming Dem candidate has mentioned before in her campaign that she intends to ban assault weapons in the state when she takes office. That, and the fact that the Democrat party is very hostile to 2nd Amendment rights in general has me very on edge for the future of gun rights in my state, especially now as fascism has taken hold in this country. I see that my state has no official SRA chapter, so I want to try and start my own. I know for a fact that there are many left-wing gun owners in this state that would want to support a SRA chapter; I myself am a very left-wing gun owner and so are all my friends. I believe that there needs to be visible left-wing opposition to the erosion of gun rights, and I don't want to support the NRA. So what can I do to start an SRA chapter in my state, and what else can I do to oppose the new governor's intentions to erode 2nd amendment rights in my state.
