The Gun Violence Awareness Coalition will be hosting a community event on Saturday June 6 at 10:00 a.m. recognizing National Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange weekend, when Americans across the country join together to demand an end to gun violence. Our event will feature speakers, tables of information surrounding gun violence prevention and we will have a ceremony remember some of the 130 Americans each day, who lose their lives in the United States, to gun violence. This year, Wear Orange is about more than raising awareness. It’s about keeping things practical and local, and giving people real ways to save lives right now.
