Women’s Outdoor News’ columnist Cheryl Todd attended and represented her state of Arizona for the DC Project recently. It was a nonpartisan initiative created by Benelli Team Captain Dianna Muller. #DCProject
Fifty women representing 50 states went to Washington, D.C., from July 7 to 9, in an effort to meet with legislators and show them a different face than what they are accustomed to when working with the Second Amendment. Not professional lobbyists or male staffers from corporations and governments, these women gave of their time and expense to make this event happen.
Todd recaps their experiences encouraging dialogue with legislators regarding values surrounding firearms. She also lets us know what we can do on a local level to support our Second Amendment rights.
