“Go out there and push for things you believe in regarding policy, because at the end of the day <\/i>one person can ignite change<\/i>”
\n– \u00a0Louisiana State Representative Helena Moreno<\/p>\n
Five Louisiana women — outraged over husbands shooting their wives — set out to strengthen domestic violence laws, including a controversial proposal to restrict the gun rights of domestic abusers.\u00a0 In Louisiana, this was considered lunacy.\u00a0 Not the part about armed abusers.\u00a0 The part about wanting to disarm them.\u00a0 This is the story of what happens when women, armed with passion, determination and political savvy, wake up and refuse to take no for an answer.<\/p>\n
Donna Dees-Thomases, Producer of\u00a0Five Awake<\/i>\u00a0will participate in a Q&A discussion<\/p>\n
