US Rep. John Lewis addressed his fellow Democrats in the House of Representatives on Thursday, June 23, as they broke their sit-in to call for votes on gun control measures. The sit-in lasted more than 24 hours, including a time when the Republicans called the House back into session for a vote. The fight for gun control measures is a struggle, Lewis said. ?We are going to win the struggle,? he said. ?We must never ever give up or give in,? he said. Lewis then led the Democrats outside the US Capitol to address the protesters who had gathered there to support the sit-in.
