On the weekend of June 7th, as part of Wear Orange Weekend and National Gun Violence Awareness Day, volunteers with Maryland Moms Demand Action, in partnership with the Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, hosted a Wear Orange event at Wheaton Regional Park to honor the lives of those affected by gun violence and spread awareness for gun violence prevention efforts nationwide.
Wear Orange originated on June 2, 2015 - what would have been Hadiya Pendleton’s 18th birthday. It began with teenagers in Chicago, who wanted to honor their friend, Hadiya, after she was shot and killed on a playground at 15 years old. Today, Wear Orange honors Hadiya and the more than 120 people who are shot and killed every day in America, as well as the hundreds more who are wounded and the countless others who are traumatized by acts of gun violence.
