Speakers/Performers
Local and national leaders including Dean Hall, Mayor Vincent Gray, and Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, as well as representatives of the arts including actress Kathleen Turner, and emcee Sam Waterston.
Sponsors
The march has been organized by an informal group of several dozen DC-area citizen activists, led by Arena Stage Artistic Director Molly Smith. It is co-sponsored by One Million Moms for Gun Control.
