In response to the NRA's http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1398507anti-protest advertisement, the Women's March is planning a 17 mile journey from the NRA headquarters in Virginia to the Department of Justice's headquarters in downtown D.C.

Recent actions of the NRA demonstrate not only a disregard for the lives of black and brown people in America, but appear to be a direct endorsement of violence against people exercising the constitutional right to protest. In addition to the inaction of the NRA on behalf of Philando Castile, the organization recently released this incendiary video ad that unashamedly peddles an "us versus them" narrative and calls for our grassroots, nonviolent resistance movement to be met with violence.

In response, Women's March wrote an open letter to NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre.

Their demands?

Please join the Women's March in calling on the NRA to take the following actions:

• Immediately remove the recent irresponsible and dangerous propaganda videos narrated by conservative talk radio host Dana Loesch.
• Issue an apology to the American people for the video you sponsored, which bears your name and logo, as it suggests armed violence against communities of color, progressives and anyone who does not agree with this Administration's policies.
• Make a statement to defend Philando Castile's Second Amendment right to own a firearm and demand the Department of Justice indict the police officer who killed him for exercising his Second Amendment right and his privilege as a licensed concealed carry permit holder. This call is clearly in line with the mission and purpose of the NRA as an organization that purports to be the lobby and defender of the right to bear arms.

We know that we are not safe. But we will not be intimidated into silence.
