Thoughts and prayers are not enough! Today is National Day of Action to send #LoveToLasVegas and to demand action to #EndGunViolence. The House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Congressman John Lewis and other House Democrats held a press event on the Capitol Building steps in Washington D.C. this morning.
