Julianne Moore Instagram – Today’s #WomenCrushWednesday is Danielle Closs, a @MomsDemand volunteer from Torrington, Wyoming.
Danielle began volunteering with the Wyoming chapter of Moms Demand Action in 2023. In her town of just 6,000 people, she began spreading the message of @BeSMARTforKids: a campaign to prevent suicides, school shootings, and unintentional shootings by children and teens by promoting secure firearm storage. As Wyoming has the highest rate of gun suicide in the nation and high household firearm ownership, Danielle’s advocacy was critical. This year, she begins her tenure as Chapter Leader for the entire state where she will continue to guide efforts to promote secure storage and prevent gun violence.
When asked about her advocacy journey, Danielle says: “I started volunteering because I feared for my kids. We live in a country where parents who send their kids off to school in the morning live with a seed of fear in their stomach. Volunteering with Moms Demand Action has not taken away that fear, but it has given me something to do with that fear. I’ve taken that seed and grown it into action, encouraging safe and responsible gun ownership in hopes of a safer future for my kids, and for everyone.”
Thank you, Danielle, for showing us how to turn our fear into our fight. #wcw | Posted on 23/Jan/2025 02:49:57
