 https://wearorange.org/ \n\nNational Gun Violence Awareness Day is the 
 first Friday in June, which is 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, June 7th - 9th, 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\n#WearOrange events are peaceful & 
 family family. \n\nFor a list of supporting organizations and local 
 governments partners, go to https://wearorange.org/supporters/\n
