I have been trying very hard to raise membership in Missouri and it has come to my attention that many in the area have never heard of W.A.R.D. I am trying to change that. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Witches Against Religious Discrimination--Missouri Chapter W.A.R.D is a national, non-profit organization working to defend YOUR religious rights as Pagans, whether in the workplace, school, or neighborhood.
