Our GDCC June monthly meeting will be hybrid meeting held in-person on Thursday, June 16 at the Gloucester Fraternity Club, 27 Webster St., Gloucester, and on ZOOM.
Join us for our last meeting before September where we welcome Kate Ranta to talk about gun control, domestic gun violence, and what we can do to provide a safer world for our kids.
Kate Ranta is a domestic and gun violence survivor. In November 2012, her estranged husband, an Air Force Major, appeared at her apartment and shot Kate twice and her
father twice in front of her then 4-year-old son. Everyone survived. Her attempted murderer was found guilty in 2017 on all five counts against him and sentenced to 60 years in prison. Kate now elevates her story for activism and awareness around violence against women–especially the deadly intersection between abuse and guns. She has been a gun violence prevention activist for many years. She is a speaker and marketing professional who has appeared in documentary films, in national media, and on expert panels. She is the author of the book “Killing Kate: A Story of Turning Abuse and Tragedy into Transformation and Triumph.” Kate is the mother of a teenage son.
Our June meeting will begin at 7:00 pm with our business meeting and will continue with our speaker.
The GDCC requests in-person attendee cooperation for Covid safety with proof of vaccination. Masks are welcome, but will not be mandatory.
