Alyssa Milano promoted a “Day of Mourning”on Tuesday that will be held on Friday ahead of an anti-National Rifle Association rally Saturday in Dallas, Texas.
“On Friday, @NoRA4USA will hold a Day of Mourning. We will share the names of those under 18 who lost their lives to gun violence this year. It will take ten hours to complete. #NoRA #KidsKilledByGuns,” the 45-year-old actress tweeted to her millions of followers.

Mike Pence is scheduled to speak at the NRA convention in Dallas on May 4. This is a slap in the face to Americans—from Parkland to Chicago to Nashville—hurting from gun violence.
SIGN THIS PETITION to demand Mike Pence pull out of the NRA convention.https://t.co/8lJEBx34gw
