Activists rallied on Capitol Hill in Washington on Wednesday to demand a ban on assault weapons. The March Fourth rally, organized by Kitty Brandtner, brought together survivors of the mass shooting at the Highland Park, Ill., Fourth of July Parade and the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. A video shared by Twitter user Tamra Mendelson shows activists wearing the color orange, marching and chanting, enough is enough and demand action now. The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on the Highland Park shooting, including testimony from Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering, on July 20.
