Today, we wear orange. 🧡
National Gun Violence Awareness Day takes place today, the first Friday in June to mark the beginning of Wear Orange Weekend to honor the lives of those lost to gun violence and raise awareness of its devastating impact on children, parents, families, and communities.
The Wear Orange movement began in memory of Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old girl whose friends chose orange to honor her life and advocate for safer communities. Today, people across the country wear orange to remember loved ones lost to gun violence and stand with those whose lives have been forever changed.
At KinderMourn, we work alongside hundreds of grieving families who’ve experienced the death of a loved one due to gun violence. Today we wear orange to honor our KinderMourn families impacted by gun violence, remember their loved ones, and raise awareness for the importance of creating safer communities for all.
