We must hold the floor until we get a vote. The time to act is now. #holdthefloor #goodtrouble

We have turned deaf ears to the blood of the innocent & the concern of our nation. We will use nonviolence to fight gun violence & inaction.

Act today for the victims of gun violence. Act today for their families. Act today for our nation who cries out for action.#holdthefloor

Sort of like Occupy Wall Street, except this time the government is occupying the government to force the government to govern. America, you are fucking amazing.
