The DC Project is a true grassroots endeavor to educate federal legislators on the realities of private gun ownership and the Second Amendment.
This year’s event will have taken place by the time this issue is in print.
The goal of the creators was to have 50 women, one from each state, go to Washington to introduce themselves to their respective Representative and Senators. There are no big donors or corporate sponsors. Instead each woman is responsible for her own transportation, food, and lodging during the time she is in the capital. The hope is that the women will meet their legislators, be able to tell their stories, and, hopefully, be able to develop a congenial relationship. The legislators and their staffs and the staff will also have an opportunity to join their constituents at a nearby range. These are the 2018 participants.
