Dear John,
On June 5th thousands of people around the country will Wear Orange in memory of Hadiya Pendleton and all those lost to gun violence. Will you be one of them?
Hadiya was just 15 years old when she was shot and killed in the park after school, one week after performing in President Obama’s inaugural parade.
To honor her memory and demand action, Hadiya’s friends wore orange — the color that hunters wear to avoid being shot. Their brave action became a national movement.
This year, I invite you to join a virtual week of action June 1 — 5, starting with a powerful conversation with Hadiya’s mother on June 1.
JOIN OUR VIRTUAL WEEK OF ACTION »
With more than 100 people dying due to gun violence every day, it remains an everyday reality — especially for many Black and brown communities across the country.
We all want to live free from fear of gun violence. We all want our loved ones and communities to be safe. This is a human rights crisis, and we must act together to end it.
Please join us in taking one action per day June 1 — 5, starting with a conversation with Hadiya’s mother on June 1. We may be physically distant, but we can come together in activism.
