Two groups are planning rallies on the National Mall this weekend: one in protest of the gun lobby and the other to show solidarity with refugees.

On Saturday, members of the recently formed Gays Against Guns plan to head from the MLK Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial at 3 p.m., urging visitors along the way to vote against incumbent politicians backed by the National Rifle Association.

The group formed in the wake of the attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, with chapters in New York, Los Angeles, and elsewhere. The local chapter recently demonstrated outside an annual National Shooting Sports Foundation conference.

“We’re on the Mall Saturday to tell tourists about the amoral profiteers who are both stoking and benefiting from America’s mass-shooting problem. It has to stop,” said Mari Gustafson, a member of the New York chapter. The group plans to distribute flyers listing candidates up for re-election who are backed by the NRA, urging visitors to vote them out of office. Dozens of “silent, solemn white-veiled figures” will walk with them, carrying placards with the names and faces of victims of mass shootings.

Gays Against Guns is also planning a gathering earlier in the day with members of the American Federation of Teachers, the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, and other groups. They will meet at Folger Park before marching on to the NRA’s nearby lobbying headquarters.

On Sunday, people will take to the Mall and the Sylvan Theatre stage, on the grounds of the (currently closed) Washington Monument, for a different cause entirely: the ongoing refugee crisis.

Organizers promise a sea of orange between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. as speakers and musical performers call on the U.S. to offer more support for refugees who have fled Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries.

“On the one-year anniversary of the drowning death of Aylan Kurdi, the young boy whose photo shocked the world, we unfortunately cannot say that things have changed,” Kathy Hertz, the founder of DCRally4Refugees. said in a statement. “I know we can do better.”
