Interfaith leaders join protest outside NRA meeting

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered under the scorching Texas sun on May 27 to protest outside the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting, just days after 21 people died in a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that has reignited a national debate on gun rights.

Among the 500-strong crowd of activists, teachers, politicians, and citizens outside the George R. Brown Convention Center were scores of interfaith leaders who sought to add the religious community’s voice in condemnation of gun violence.
