Students in Wisconsin are organizing a 50-mile march to Speaker Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) hometown later this month to demand action on gun control.

The students plan to begin the trek, called "March for Our Lives: 50 Miles More," in Madison, Wis., and will march to Janesville, Wis. The 50-mile march will begin on March 25, a day after the March for Our Lives event, where people will rally in Washington, D.C. and across the country for action against gun violence.

The 50 Miles More March co-leader Katie Eder, a senior at Shorewood High School in Wisconsin, said she knows it's easy for the media and politicians to move on from gun violence tragedies.

"We have grown up experiencing school shootings followed by this inaction, and we refuse to let it happen this time,” she said in a press release.

accountable. He is too much of a chicken shit to face them though. Postal carriers would drop off bags and bags of letters from people who needed health care before the House destroyed the ACA and it was all scooped up and put into the dumpster. He should have been in the trash truck underneath all of it on the way to the landfill...his final resting place as a piece of human trash/waste.
