Georgia Rep. John Lewis is leading a sit-in on the House floor Wednesday to push Republicans to address gun violence in the legislative chamber.

“Sometimes you have to do something out of the ordinary. Sometimes you have to make a way out of no way. We have been too quiet for too long,” he said. “There comes a time when you have to say something, when you have to make a little noise, when you have to move your feet. This is the time. Now is the time to get in the way. The time to act is now. We will be silent no more.”

He previously wrote a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan, demanding that he keep the House in session through its planned recess to debate and vote on gun control legislation. Dozens of Republicans have joined Lewis on the floor, and plan to stay “all day, all night” to make their stance clear.
