Featured in the Tennessee Lookout: Gun safety advocates take to Tennessee streets

Laura Brown stood by a table surrounded by red, white and blue posters with drawings of the U.S. Capitol and a message: “Send a letter to Congress.”

“Hello, would you like to send a letter to the Senate?” she called out.

“I love these things, but people in Congress never seem to hear about them,” Brown said. “This is my bare bones operation to collect letters to our senators and congressmen. I package the letters and send them off.”

Brown was one of more than 1,500 people in Nashville Saturday advocating for stronger gun laws as part of the national March for Our Lives movement.
