 Action for our annual Wear Orange:\nStop Gun Violence event as we mourn the 
 lives recently lost in the mass shootings in \nUvalde TX, Laguna Woods CA, 
 Buffalo NY, and from gun violence throughout America.\n\nDuring the first 
 weekend in June, we'll be wearing orange to honor those taken or forever 
 changed by gun violence and to demand the kind of action that we know can 
 help save lives.\n\nWe will recognize individuals and communities impacted 
 by gun violence, elevate stories and successes in working to reduce gun 
 violence in our country, and share our dedication and commitment to each 
 other to take on the fights ahead.\n\n\nWhy Wear Orange?\n\nOrange is the 
 color worn by hunters for safety to warn, "Don't shoot. I'm a human being." 
 Orange became the color chosen by Hadiya Pendleton’s friends, who wore it 
 in her honor after 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 people to stand up, speak out, and 
 Wear Orange to raise awareness about gun violence. Since then orange has 
 been the defining color of the gun violence prevention movement.\n\nWear 
 Orange events are now organized annually to remember lives lost to and 
 maimed by gun violence, as well as to raise awareness about this public 
 health crisis. Every day, more than 100 Americans are killed with guns and 
 more than 230 are shot and wounded. These survivors are faced with a 
 life-long process of physical and emotional healing.\n\nWhether it’s worn 
 by students in California, 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\nABOUT: California 
 Chapter of Moms Demand 
 Action\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/MomsDemandActionCA/\n\nMoms Demand 
 Action is a grassroots movement of Americans fighting for public safety 
 measures that can protect people from gun violence. We pass stronger gun 
 laws and work to close the loopholes that jeopardize the safety of our 
 families. We also work in our own communities and with business leaders to 
 encourage a culture of responsible gun ownership. We know that gun violence 
 is preventable, and we’re committed to doing what it takes to keep 
 families safe.\n\nMoms Demand Actions and Students Demand Action are part 
 of the Everytown for Gun Safety organization.\n
