We're just a little over 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. Moms, students, veterans, survivors, and others wear orange
throughout the weekend to show their support—in every state across the
country.

National Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend. Save the date
and share it with your friends.

events for Wear Orange Weekend.
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 110 people shot and
killed every day in the United States, as well as the hundreds more who
are wounded.

around the corner. Save the date and share it with your friends.
Thank you for being a part of this movement. We can't wait to see you
wearing orange in just a few weeks.
