August Activist Update!
Check out our activist update for important news from August!
This is a guest post by 17-year-old high school student Kaylee Allen.
On November 14th, 2019 a gunman walked into my school where I was an 11th grade student. Saugus High School was a place I felt safe and protected, but on that day, his intent was to kill. At 7:38am he pulled out his gun and started firing. Yes, another school shooting, but this time, it was happening to me.

Did You See Our #FeelGoodFriday?
We were heartbroken about having to postpone our annual Second Amendment Celebration Dinner. It’s our highlight of the year – getting to celebrate the Second Amendment with hundreds of supporters dressed up for a night out on the town!
As part of preparation for our original date of August 15, we had all of our vendors in place several months ago, including fresh flowers for our centerpieces, which could not be cancelled on such short notice.
So instead, SDCGO staff went out in full force last Friday to spread some cheer to our first responders! Huge thank you to our amazing florist, Christine’s Floral Designs, who very generously donated her time to design and make all of the arrangements.
