Organizers from Highland Park, Ill. held a rally in Washington, D.C. demanding stronger gun control regulations Wednesday, July 13, 2022.

"I am unwilling to let what happened to my family, to my babies, on one of the most celebrated national holidays, a day that represents freedom, be another thought and prayer," Abby Brosio, who survived the mass shooting July 4 in Highland Park, Illinois, told the crowd. “I hope you’re uncomfortable. Change is uncomfortable. Let’s begin."

The demonstration, which drew about 200 people, is part of a broader call for action after mass killings, including the attack in Highland Park, where seven people were killed after a gunman climbed to a rooftop in the wealthy Chicago suburb and fired on those watching a Fourth of July parade. Families from Uvalde, Texas – where a gunman killed 21 people at an elementary school in May – spoke to the crowd as well.
