 Gun Sense in America raises awareness through our annual #WearOrange

 https://act.everytown.org/event/wear-orange-2020/33555\n_____________________________________________________________\n\nThis 
 year, COVID-19 may be limiting our ability to gather in person, but not our 
 desire to #WearOrange and fight for a future free from gun violence. 
 \n\nQuarantine frustrations are just one of the ways the COVID-19 pandemic 
 and the gun violence epidemic are feeding on each other.  You may have read 
 about the security guard in \nFlint, Michigan who was shot and killed for 
 refusing entry to a shopper not wearing a protective mask. Or the 
 anti-government demonstrations by gun-wielding activists in Nevada, 
 Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Virginia. Or the two fast food 
 restaurant workers in Oklahoma who were shot and wounded because the 
 restaurant's seating area was closed. \n\nThe recent murder of Ahmaud 
 Arbery in Brunswick, Georgia shows how 'Stand Your Ground' shootings have a 
 tragic and disproportionate impact on communities of color. Overall, more 
 than 100 people are shot and killed, and the hundreds more are wounded, by 
 guns every day in America, even during this pandemic. \n\nJoin us for a 
 Virtual Day of Action! We will have an interactive day of action taking 
 place online, including impactful speakers and actions for you to take, and 
 you can share your \nhome-based #WearOrange 
 activities.\n_____________________________________________________________\n\nWhy 
 #WearOrange?\n\nOrange is the color that Hadiya Pendleton’s friends wore 
 in her honor when she was shot \nand killed in Chicago at the age of 15 — 
 just one week after performing at President Obama’s \n2nd inaugural 
 parade in 2013. After her death, they asked us to stand up, speak out, 
 \nand Wear Orange—the color hunters use for protection—to raise 
 awareness about gun violence.
