Georgia Rep. John Lewis will join protesters outside of the National Rifle Association’s convention in Atlanta on Saturday.
Several hundred gun control advocates are expected to gather ahead of President Trump’s speech to the annual convention, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution report.
In January, Trump criticized Lewis on Twitter, saying the civil rights icon is “All talk, talk, talk — no action or results.”
Lewis did not attend the inauguration and said he did not see Trump as a “legitimate president.”
More than 80,000 people are expected at the NRA convention. Several hundred people have also RSVP’ed to protests organized by groups like Everytown for Gun Safety.
Trump is the first sitting president since Ronald Reagan to attend the convention.
