DESCRIPTION:The day after the Sandy Hook tragedy, mom-of-five Shannon Watts started a 
 Facebook page which became Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a 
 grassroots movement with a chapter in every state and more than three 
 million supporters. \n\nSince their founding, Moms have taken the fight for 
 new and stronger gun laws to the states, passing background check laws in 
 six states and battling back dangerous gun bills that undermine public 
 safety. They have persuaded corporations like Starbucks, Target and 
 Chipotle to adopt gun-sense policies that put the safety of their employees 
 and customers first. And Moms are gearing up to build on these victories by 
 making gun violence prevention a political priority in the upcoming 
 elections.\n\nCalifornia has some of the strongest gun violence prevention 
 legislation in the country and leads the nation in progressive 
 implementation of gun safety measures. But when it comes to gun safety, our 
 nation is only as strong as the state with the weakest gun laws. Join 
 Shannon and moderator Sara Smirin, Moms volunteer leader and OFJCC Board 
 Member, to learn more about the movement and why it's important to get 
 involved in 2016. \n\nShannon Watts is a stay-at-home mom and former 
 communications executive. She founded Moms Demand Action with the message 
 that all Americans can and should do more to reduce gun violence. The 
 online conversation turned into a grassroots movement of American mothers 
 fighting for public safety measures that respect the Second Amendment and 
 protect people from gun violence. Moms Demand Action has established a 
 chapter in every state of the country and is part of Everytown for Gun 
 Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in the country, 
 with more than three million supporters.\n\n$15 General | $12 Members and
