The Dallas shooting exposed how the proliferation of guns in our society put first responders at risk.
In states with a background check on every gun sale, nearly half as many cops are shot on the job.
Time and again we have seen what happens when we allow hatred to be heavily armed. It will happen again and again until our leaders act.
For #Orlando for the LGBT community, for all Americans who have been killed or injured by gun violence, we MUST ACT.
We’re #WearingOrange on June 2nd for National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
Why orange? The color orange symbolizes the value of human life. Hunters wear orange to alert other hunters that they’re there — as a way to take care of their own life and the lives of others. A couple of years ago, teens on the South Side of Chicago asked their classmates to wear orange in honor of a friend who was shot and killed. Now, we’re amplifying their call to action and turning orange into a symbol for the value of human life everywhere.
Will you Wear Orange on June 2nd?
We’re excited to kick off Wear Orange 2016!
Save the date: June 2, 2016 is National Gun Violence Awareness Day, and don’t forget to #WearOrange
Black men bear the brunt of gun violence in America.
Saturday is the first day of National Gun Violence Survivors Week – when we ask everyone to shine a spotlight on the stories of Americans who have had loved ones taken by gun violence, who have been wounded or threatened with a gun, or witnessed a shooting.
We’ll be sharing the stories of survivors and statistics that highlight the impact of gun violence.
