In California they will actually be holding rallies in three different cities on that day. In Florida they will be holding rallies in two different cities.

Five women on FreeRepublic.com ,  a “Conservative News Forum” on the Internet, started SAS in December 1999. Their first effort was the Armed Informed Mothers' Rally and March on Mother’s Day 2000, which drew approximately 5000 to the grounds of the Washington Monument and thousands more to rallies in cities all over the United States. A new movement was born. Since then, Second Amendment Sisters has welcomed a growing number of women and men from across the country, all dedicated, unpaid, volunteers who passionately believe in the basic human right of self-defense.

            “It is crucial to let our state legislatures know that the right to self-defense is vitally important to women.  We can no longer sit on the sidelines of this debate while we are put in harm’s way by dangerous notions masquerading as common sense,” stated Juli Bednarzyk, SAS president.
