 https://wearorange.org/\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 https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2024/05/26/18866614.php
