By Penny Okamoto, Executive Director of Ceasefire Oregon

A new article talks about how gun extremists have been threatening women who are working to prevent gun violence. Women have been spat upon, stalked, intimidated, and threatened with rape. The women of Moms Demand Action are a top target for gun criminals. The Moms organzied in all 50 states for stronger gun laws after the December 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting.

Despite all these threats and intimidation, women are continuing to organize to work to prevent gun violence and pass common-sense gun laws.
