John–
We're less than one month away from National Gun Violence Awareness Day
and Wear Orange Weekend!
Every year on the first Friday in June, members of our movement come
together to honor survivors of gun violence and demand a future free from
this crisis. We wear orange throughout the weekend to show our support—in
every state and every community across the country.
Make sure you're ready to join us on June 2–4 for this year's National Gun
Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend. [ [link removed] ]Find an event near you

Wear Orange originated on June 2, 2015—what would have been Hadiya
Pendleton's 18th birthday. Just one week after performing at President
Obama's 2nd inaugural parade in 2013, she was shot and killed at the age
of 15. In the aftermath, teenagers in Chicago who wanted to honor their
friend wore orange to raise awareness around gun violence.
Today, Wear Orange honors Hadiya and the more than 120 people shot and
killed every day in the United States, as well as the hundreds more who
are wounded. Together, we'll use this moment to help build a future free
from gun violence. [ [link removed] ]Find a Wear Orange event near you and be a part of

wearing orange in just a few weeks.
