The nation’s gun violence epidemic has gone on for far too long. Whether headline-grabbing mass shootings or the daily plague of shootings in our cities and communities, the families of gun violence victims have had enough. In this powerful video, they are speaking up and letting their elected officials know they will stand quietly by no longer.
