 https://wearorange.org/\n\nNational Gun Violence Awareness Day is the first 
 Friday in June, which will be June 7 in 2019.\n\nOur movement gains 
 momentum when gun sense activists come together to fight for a future free 
 from gun violence. Wear Orange Weekend is an opportunity for us to show the 
 country just how powerful we are.\n\nTogether, with hundreds of thousands 
 of Americans, we turn America orange. But the work doesn’t end there. 
 Everytown and our partner organizations continue to do life-saving work so 
 that we can get closer to realizing a future free from gun violence. We 
 wear orange to be seen, and demand that we be heard. Support us by going 
 orange.\n\nHISTORY:  Orange is the color that Hadiya Pendleton’s friends 
 wore in her honor when she was shot and killed in Chicago at the age of 15 
 — just one week after performing at President Obama’s 2nd inaugural 
 parade in 2013. After her death, they asked us to stand up, speak out, and 
 Wear Orange to raise awareness about gun violence.\n\nSince then orange has 
 been the defining color of the gun violence prevention movement. New York 
 gun violence prevention advocate Erica Ford spearheaded orange as the color 
 of peace through her work with her organization, Life Camp, Inc. Whether 
 it’s worn by students in Montana, activists in New York, or Hadiya’s 
 loved ones in Chicago, the color orange honors the more than 100 lives cut 
 short and the hundreds more wounded by gun violence everyday.\n\nEvents are 
 peaceful & family family.\n\nFor a list of supporting organizations and 
 local governments partners, go to  https://wearorange.org/supporters/\n
