Photos and Media from the Overnight Vigil and Morning Die-in at National Rifle Association Headquarters

IMG_0135.JPG

A diverse group of individuals and organizations gathered outside National Rifle Association (NRA) headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia, on June 20, 2016, for an overnight vigil honoring the victims of the shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando and a morning "die-in" civil disobedience action to protest the NRA's relentless lobbying to put weapons of war into our homes, streets and communities. More than 100 took part in the vigil and 16 were arrested in the morning action.

Here we've gathered a collection of images and links to select media. All photos may be used by journalists and bloggers, credit CODEPINK.
