Protesters Call Out "Massacre Mitch" in Mountain View

Across the country, thousands mourned the shooting victims of the community of Gilroy, as well as El Paso, Dayton, and those in the many other communities that have been struck by hate and violence.

In Mountain View, California, demonstrators stood together to send a message to lawmakers that the majority of Americans support common sense gun laws such as universal background checks, an assault-style weapons ban, and a high-capacity magazine ban. They denounced the hateful, racist rhetoric used by President Trump and other leaders, which they said has emboldened white supremacists to carry out mass acts of gun violence, such as the El Paso attack aimed at the Latino community.

There were many honks of approval from passing cars. After demonstrating at the busy intersection they held a "reading of the names" of some of the victims of gun violence. The event was sponsored by Together We Will--Palo Alto/Mtn. View.
