The second annual national
#WearOrange day, organized by
Everytown for Gun Safety, is
coming up June 2. The purpose of
this awareness raising initiative is
to draw attention to the issue of
gun violence and urge national
action around common sense
solutions to this deadly epidemic.
More about the Campaign:
The color orange symbolizes the
value of human life. Hunters wear
orange in the woods to protect
themselves and others. In 2013,
teens on the South Side of Chicago
asked classmates to honor their
murdered friend by wearing orange. That simple call to action has grown into a national movement –
and orange is becoming the symbol of gun safety. Explore new ways to join the movement, and
#WearOrange on June 2 for National Gun Violence Awareness Day!
