WASHINGTON – Hundreds of protesters gathered Saturday night in Washington to protest for gun legislation after a shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, that killed 20 and injured at least 26.
Many of them are protesting with the organization Moms Demand Action.

Gathered in Washington for a leadership conference called Gun Safety University, volunteers nationwide with Moms Demand Action mobilized on the last day. What was supposed to be a closing, celebratory gala turned urgent upon hearing the news of the shootings at El Paso.

"We know that Congress isn't here, but we wanted to turn our grief into action," Elva Mendoza, a Moms Demand Action volunteer, told USA TODAY.

As chants of "El Paso" and "Hey hey, ho ho, the NRA has got to go" littered the air, protesters walked from the White House to Capitol Hill.

Plenty of lobbyists and White House staffers and journalists in town. It’s worth protesting.
