The mission of the Women's and Girl's Project of Winston-Salem is not solely about gun safety. The Project is involved in a wide range of programs and activities designed to empower and heal black girls and women. Founder Nakida McDaniel said community safety is obviously key to the Project and its young members There have been 11 homicides in Winston Salem so far this year; McDaniel calls that unac ceptable. "We have seen our families and our commu nities mourning the deaths of young men because of gun violence. We want to be able to create an impact." she said. "One of the main reasons for us to get our young girls who are not of voting age civi cally involved is so that we can transition them to the work that we do. We want to show girls that they have the power now to change the community. We want to bring the com munities together so that everyone is a apart of this change." Green said women and girls should be aware that lax gun laws lead to gun violence which can beget domestic violence. "We want women and girls to be aware that nine American women are shot every week by their inti mate partners." Green said. "We are mothers, sis ters. wives and daughters who are impacted by gun violence disproportionate ly. It is an issue that is very important for women." Stacy Gamble spent part of his afternoon at the event. Violence is a sub ject that has weighed heavily on him as of late. "There has been a lot of shootings in the neigh borhood. What concerns me is the safety of the kids and the community," Gamble said. "1 have grandbabies and 1 want them to be safe outside and catching the bus." Williette Carter read about the event on Facebook and drove over to learn more. "1 am very interested in gun sensem. and being a mom. it's very important for moms to demand action in regard to the gun violence that has occurred and continues to occur daily" she said.
