[ [link removed] ]Wear Orange Weekend Starts June 5th!

John–

Wear Orange is June 5th! The 6th National Gun Violence Awareness Day is
when we honor the people shot and killed or wounded by gun violence, and
survivors of gun violence. We honor them and renew our commitment to
ending gun violence in America by taking action and taking part in Wear
Orange. And for the entire weekend (June 5-7), we're holding virtual
events across the country to raise awareness for gun violence prevention.
Will you join us?

We may be apart from one another, but we're going to celebrate Wear Orange
Weekend together. [ [link removed] ]Find a virtual Wear Orange Weekend event in your

In 2013, 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was shot and killed in Chicago.
After her death, her friends and family wore orange to honor Hadiya and
the hundreds of Americans killed and wounded by gun violence every day.
Every year since then, to coincide with Hadiya's birthday on June 2, we've
worked to continue their efforts by wearing orange on the first Friday of
June and the entirety of that weekend.

We know that gun violence continues to impact communities across the
country, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. That's why we're organizing
[ [link removed] ]virtual Wear Orange events with local community partners across the
country, so that Moms Demand Action volunteers, Students Demand Action
volunteers, survivors of gun violence, and all people in America can come
together in this movement. And we're partnering with a broad coalition of
nonprofits, cultural figures, and elected officials working to reduce gun
violence in America to make #WearOrange a success.

John, these may be difficult times, but that won't stop us from
Wearing Orange. This year—like every year—we honor the people shot and
killed or wounded by gun violence by Wearing Orange, sharing #WearOrange
online on June 5th, and [ [link removed] ]joining virtual community events from June
5th-June 7th!

I'm looking forward to joining you for Wear Orange.
