DESCRIPTION:#WEAR ORANGE: NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS WEEKEND 2024\n\nSaturday, 
 June 8 at 10:00 AM \n\nDuring Wear Orange Weekend (June 7-9) join us at 
 Wayside Park in Pleasanton to honor survivors and build community with 
 those working to end gun violence. \n\nJoin us to listen to speakers, learn 
 how we can prevent gun violence, help raise awareness and help us “Chalk 
 About Gun Violence." \n\nYou can bring the whole family for this fun, 
 positive event to get out our life-saving message.\n\n\nWE WEAR ORANGE for 
 a FUTURE FREE FROM GUN VIOLENCE\n\nThis year, we once again unite in our 
 call to end gun violence as we come together for Wear Orange. We honor the 
 communities shattered by gun violence alongside the more than 120 people 
 who are shot and killed, and hundreds more who are wounded, every day in 
 our country. Together, we call for meaningful action to save lives.\n\nWe 
 should not have to live in fear that gunfire can ring out at any moment, 
 whether it’s at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, while grocery 
 shopping at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, a party in San Bernardino, 
 or graduations across the country. We deserve more. Raise awareness by 
 participating in Wear Orange online and in your community.\n\n\nWHY 
 ORANGE?\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 43,000 Americans are killed with guns and approximately 
 76,000 more are shot and wounded every year.\n\n\nWear Orange to End Gun 
 Violence is organized annually by Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in 
 America and Students Demand Action for Gun Sense in America which are part 
 of the larger organization, Everytown for Gun Safety, as well as 
 participating partner organizations.\n
