National Organization of Women President Christian F. Nunes and Author David Pepper to Headline 102nd Annual Democrat Days of the Ozarks
April 2, 2024
On Saturday, April 6th at 6:30 PM, National Organization of Women (NOW) President Christian F. Nunes and Former Ohio Democratic Party Chair David Pepper will keynote Greene County Democrats’ 102nd annual Democrat Days of the Ozarks banquet. The Saturday evening banquet closes a weekend of Democratic political and progressive community events being organized by the Greene County Democrats, one of the largest Democratic Party-organized events in the area.
This year, Missouri voters have the opportunity to reject Missouri’s cruel abortion ban and put an amendment to restore reproductive rights on the ballot, as we have watched our neighbors accomplish. Hard fought campaigns to protect reproductive rights have been won in Ohio, Kansas, Kentucky, and most recently Alabama, and those fights could not have been won without a coalition of support from groups like the NOW and leaders like Christian F. Nunes and David Pepper.

Background:
Christian F. Nunes, MBA, MS, LCSW, became NOW president in August 2020. She was previously appointed Vice President by the board in May 2019. As the second African American president in the organization’s history, the youngest person of color, and the youngest president in more than 40 years, Nunes is leading the organization through an intersectional lens, bringing a diverse coalition of grassroots activists to work against structural sexism and racism.
David Pepper, Vice President ASDC is a lawyer, writer, political activist, former elected official, and adjunct professor, and served as the Chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party between 2015 and 2021. In that role, he was engaged in numerous fights and extensive litigation over voter suppression and election laws in the Buckeye State. Stemming from that work, David appeared in “All In”—the documentary highlighting Stacey Abrams’ nation-wide fight for voting rights.
