Description

Much like Mothers Against Drunk Driving was created to reduce drunk driving, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America was created to demand action from legislators, state and federal; companies; and educational institutions to establish common-sense gun reforms. Founded by stay-at-home mom Shannon Watts in response to the devastating shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the organization quickly flourished into a leading force for gun violence prevention, with chapters in all 50 states and a powerful grassroots network of moms that has successfully effected change at the local, state and national level. This month's feature focuses on the local chapter of the organization.

Community Connection is an Indiana Public Radio original program that tells the story of nonprofit organizations in our listening area of East Indiana. Each month, we focus on one organization and what its volunteers and staff are doing to make East Central Indiana a better place to live and work. We’re here to tell their story: what impact they have on our community, how they do what they do, and how you can help.
