This tragedy and the shooting at Columbine High School prompted her to ride a bus to Washington D.C. for the Million Mom March on Mother\u2019s Day 2000-an experience that changed her life. For ten years Sherri worked as an organizer of one of the first gun violence prevention groups in MI, the Million Mom March, later known as the Brady Campaign, and served as state Vice Chair. When the MI chapter was discontinued, she became active in pro-democracy work as a team leader during the Obama first run for president. In 2017 she helped organize a local chapter of a new grassroots movement called Indivisible. In 2018 she was on the organizing team for the first statewide conference of Indivisible chapters, which became Statewide Indivisible MI, better known as SWIM. Today, in addition to remaining in the leadership of her local Indivisible chapter, she represents SWIM on the End Gun Violence MI steering committee as well as the MI Freedom Coalition.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brz-columns brz-css-d-column-column brz-css-wbgpfz\" data-brz-custom-id=\"s1J9llK9oOGk\">\n<div class=\"brz-column__items brz-css-d-column-bg brz-css-1u02mf6\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-d-wrapper brz-css-1n5ijkp brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-image brz-css-d-image-uop7zhielajz-parent brz-css-e9vxm5\" data-brz-custom-id=\"uOp7ZhiELaJz\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"brz-img\" src=\"https:\/\/miunited.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/brizy\/imgs\/Sherri-Masson--555x830x0x33x555x764x1768189777.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"kai-howard\" data-brz-id=\"zcnwr7Im7IfB_zcnwr7Im7IfB\" class=\"brz-section brz-css-d-section brz-css-y0dhkn\">\n<div class=\"brz-section__content brz-section--boxed brz-css-d-sectionitem-bg brz-css-e01sbu\" data-brz-custom-id=\"q82FoP2lvjuw\">\n<div class=\"brz-container brz-css-d-sectionitem-container brz-css-zcxc1j\">\n<div class=\"brz-row__container brz-css-d-row-row brz-css-1it9439\" data-brz-custom-id=\"xTZPgz8rehiS\">\n<div class=\"brz-row brz-css-d-row-container brz-css-r-row-container brz-css-ag23py\">\n<div class=\"brz-columns brz-css-d-column-column brz-css-13j164b\" data-brz-custom-id=\"iDHWwYsBHG__\">\n<div class=\"brz-column__items brz-css-d-column-bg brz-css-151oemg\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-d-wrapper brz-css-1nlam3i brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-image brz-css-d-image-kzse1zq3hgxi-parent brz-css-1chtb0n\" data-brz-custom-id=\"kZsE1ZQ3hgxi\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"brz-img\" src=\"https:\/\/miunited.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/brizy\/imgs\/kai_howard-694x694x69x0x555x694x1768234962.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brz-columns brz-css-d-column-column brz-css-11rr67v\" data-brz-custom-id=\"lr3obh4UhkZN\">\n<div class=\"brz-column__items brz-css-d-column-bg brz-css-7j2kic\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-d-wrapper brz-css-1g72b40 brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-d-richtext brz-css-4knq3y\" data-brz-custom-id=\"zFoaPGdmvwqi\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-fsft-lg-0 brz-fwdth-lg-100 brz-vfw-lg-400 brz-lh-lg-1_3 brz-ls-lg-1_3 brz-fw-lg-700 brz-fss-lg-px brz-fs-lg-64 brz-ft-google brz-ff-montserrat brz-tp-lg-empty brz-text-lg-left brz-tp-sm-empty brz-fs-sm-58 brz-fss-sm-px brz-fw-sm-700 brz-ls-sm-1_3 brz-lh-sm-1_3 brz-vfw-sm-400 brz-fwdth-sm-100 brz-fsft-sm-0 brz-css-jNlWS\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-xxfj7\" data-uniq-id=\"xC2fP\">Kai Howard<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-d-wrapper brz-css-15tdikz brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-d-richtext brz-css-u02pfc\" data-brz-custom-id=\"jIPGyxm6zhrq\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-lg-paragraph brz-css-dbfjT\" data-uniq-id=\"hfStc\" data-generated-css=\"brz-css-t4xU7\"><span>Kai Howard (Professionally known as Kai Paige) is one of the few African American women in Michigan to lead multiple high-level political statewide campaigns to victory.
