Join us for our February meeting of the Cass County Democrats.
We welcome our special guest Erin Gingrich-Gaylord, a full-time caregiver to two young daughters, and the volunteer local group leader for the Kansas City, MO chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. A national grassroots organization founded after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting to fight for common sense gun legislation in our statehouses and Congress. Moms Demand Action envisions a country where all children and families are safe from gun violence. They are educating, motivating, and mobilizing supporters to take action that will result in stronger laws and policies to save lives. Text ACT to 644-33 to be connected to a Moms Demand Action group in your area and follow Moms Demand Action-MO on Facebook for more information and action.
