 https://wearorange.org/\n\nPlease join Moms Demand Action and United Playaz 
 for a special event where we will kick off \nan art mural.  We will honor 
 San Francisco EMT, Camilo Senchyna-Beltran (December 13, 1987 to December 
 7, 2014) who was killed by gun fire, as well as honor other victims and 
 survivors \nof gun violence. \n\nThis is a project that is for survivors, 
 by survivors. Our message is that although we may all have different 
 backgrounds and experiences, the pain of gun violence has a ripple effect 
 that reaches everyone in the community, and we all have a role to play in 
 ending this epidemic.\n\n\nWHY WEAR 
 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\nABOUT: United Playaz\n\nhttps://unitedplayaz.org/\n\nUP’s programs 
 provide youth with adult support, academic enrichment, and leadership 
 skills to prevent them from entering and re-entering the justice system. 
 Our programs reframe our kids’ perceptions, attitudes and beliefs about 
 their future and the positive effect they can have upon their community. 
 Youth gain the knowledge and empowerment needed to tackle daily exposure to 
 social and cultural pressures. \n\nUP has a presence at 7 high schools in 
 San Francisco in order to provide in-school violence prevention and 
 support. This program provides youth with a way to get to know our 
 organization while developing leadership skills and participating in 
 violence prevention events.\n\n\nABOUT: California Chapter of Moms Demand 
 Action\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/MomsDemandActionCA/\n\nMoms Demand 
 Action for Gun Sense in America 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 https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2022/05/28/18850015.php
