#WearOrange for Gun Violence Awareness

Orange has been the color of gun violence awareness after Haydia Pendleton was tragically shot in 2013 when she was only 15 years old. Help us spread the message that gun violence is a health crisis that takes over 100 lives every day.

 

We grieve with the Uvalde community for the 19 children and 2 teachers murdered in their school. We choose to Honor with Action! Here are some ways to support  #WearOrange:

► SUPPORT our state affiliates! Check out their individual websites here and get involved locally. 

Texas Gunsense rallies at their state Capitol in response to the Uvalde school shooting. 

► POST a pic on social media to help spread public awareness on the gun violence epidemic. Tag us on facebook, instagram and/or twitter @supgvnetwork, plus hashtag #WearOrange.

► DONATE $20 and receive a Zinnia pin to honor gun violence victims and survivors.
