 ARE SOUL BOXES?\n\nhttps://soulboxproject.org/\n\nA Soul Box is an origami 
 box representing a life lost to gun fire.  \n\nFolding a Soul Box is a 
 calming, restorative activity for groups or individuals, that also honors 
 those lives lost to guns. Soul Boxes can be personalized with messages, 
 images, or some display a photo or representations of a special loved one 
 someone has lost to gun violence.\n\nSoul Boxes remember individuals lost 
 or injured by any circumstance of shooting: violence, defense, accident or 
 suicide. Exhibits represent and honor people of every race, cultural 
 background, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious or political 
 affiliation.\n\nIn October 2021, 200,000 Soul Boxes were exhibited in the 
 "This Loss We Carry" installation on the National Mall in Washington D.C. 
 with 800 linear feet of 36,000 Soul Boxes on panels under a canopy, and 
 bags of 164,000 Soul Boxes lining the walkways spanning the Mall.\n\nVIDEO:

 ORANGE?\n\nhttps://wearorange.org/\n\nOn January 21, 2013, Hadiya Pendleton 
 marched in President Obama’s second inaugural parade. One week later, 
 Hadiya was shot and killed on a playground in Chicago. Soon after this 
 tragedy, Hadiya’s friends commemorated her life by wearing orange, the 
 color hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves and others. \n\nWear 
 Orange is now observed every June. Thousands of people wear the color 
 orange to honor Hadiya and the more than 40,000 people who are killed with 
 guns and approximately 85,000 who are shot and wounded every year.\n\n
