WASHINGTON — In a push to end gun violence, hundreds of Orange Walk participants marched from Freedom Plaza to the White House on Sunday.
“We’re calling on President Obama and all of our elected leaders to do more to keep guns out of dangerous hands,” says Jennifer Stapleton, a spokeswoman for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, the group that led the march.
Clad in orange, thousands of people nationwide participated in the Orange Walk movement this weekend. Monday marks three years since the Sandy Hook massacre, when Adam Lanza gunned down 20 children and six adults before taking his own life in Newtown, Connecticut.
Peter Reed’s daughter was killed in the 2007 shootings at Virginia Tech .
“I hope it’s going to motivate people to speak out and not stay silent,” Reed says. “That’s what I really hope. Because we can’t have more people joining this club the way we do now, all the time.”
