JOIN THE WHITE HOUSE FACEBOOK "LIFE EVENT" CAMPAIGN
TO #END GUN VIOLENCE
Right now, more than 68 members of Congress are staging a sit-in in the U.S. House, refusing to break for recess until a vote is held on the common-sense gun legislation that Americans have been demanding.
At 6 pm ET tonight join the White House, Gun Violence Prevention allies and cultural influencers from across the nation are participating in a digital protest against gun violence. However, unlike normal protests, this event will take place entirely online!
Want in? Join us in creating Facebook "Life Event" update. Unlike a typical Life Event update (announcing a marriage or a new baby, for example), make this an update declaring your intent to reduce gun violence by stating that “enough is enough.”
