John, today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day and the
start of Wear Orange Weekend. It's time to wear orange!

Across the country, people will wear orange today and throughout the
weekend to honor the lives of those taken and those forever changed by gun
violence. It's a bright and powerful color that lets everyone know that we
demand to be seen, and that we demand to see change.

with the #WearOrange hashtag.

As a member of this movement, I'll be wearing orange with other advocates
this weekend to discuss what we can do to end gun violence and support
survivors. Because for me, the issue of gun safety is personal. I am
queer, I am brown, and I am a father. People who love like me and look
like me have been the targets of gun violence in our country, including at
Pulse and El Paso. Each year, 3,800 Latinxs die from gun violence in the
U.S., and Latinxs are twice as likely to be killed in a gun homicide as
white people.^1 This weekend, I #WearOrange for them, and to be a part of
a movement making sure that everyone in America can pursue happiness, free
from the threat of gun violence.
