by | Jun 28, 2016 | 0 comments

Madison – U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan (WI-02), along with community leaders and local activists will gather on the steps of the City/County Building in downtown Madison at 5pm CT on Wednesday, June 29, to hold a National Day of Action rally on gun violence prevention. Last week, the Democratic #NoBillNoBreak Sit-In on the Floor of the U.S. House of Representatives showed that Republican Leadership can no longer ignore the epidemic of gun violence. Wednesday marks a National Day of Action on gun violence prevention, as Democratic Members of Congress from across the county will take the fight for commonsense gun safety to the streets.
