Wear Orange

By Cameron Davis:

June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month when we honor the communities shattered by gun violence.

Wear Orange was started in 2015 by high school students in Chicago to honor 15 year old Hadiya Pendleton who was killed by a stray bullet a few days after she performed at President Obama’s second inauguration.

Orange was the color chosen since it is the color worn by hunters in the woods to protect themselves.

No one should have to live in fear that gunfire can ring out at any moment.

As a member of Students Demand Action, I ask for all of us to please Wear Orange and unite in our call to end gun violence this Friday June 2nd, 2023

Please wear an orange t shirt, sundress, shorts etc. on Friday 6/2/23 to show your support and to kickoff Wear Orange Weekend.
