“Their pain is strong, and so is their mission. Hundreds of people are marching on Capitol Hill to demand new efforts to stop gun violence, among them mothers still reeling from last week's deadly mass shooting in Highland Park, which left 7 people dead and dozens more wounded.
The group is demanding a federal ban on assault weapons. Mothers and community members from Highland Park are among them. So are at least 50 community members from Uvalde, Texas, where 19 students and 2 teachers were killed in a school shooting in May.”
