Wear Orange

media release: Together, on June 7-9, we will honor the lives that have been taken by gun violence and send an urgent and powerful message: 

We CAN, and we WILL, end gun violence!

Friday, June 7 & Sunday, June 8

Gun violence prevention is really about one thing: people. You and I understand that all people deserve to live a life free of violence and that we must rally together with this message.

That’s why we’d like to invite you to join us and others across the country to observe National Gun Violence Prevention Weekend, June 7-9.

On Friday, June 7, people across the country will wear orange for National Gun Violence Awareness Day, and, throughout the weekend, events across Wisconsin will offer opportunities to come together in solidarity.

MADISON - Community Gathering at Galaxy Park ,132 Milky Way - Friday, June 7, 5:00 p.m.

For the third year in a row, Dane County Moms Demand Action, Public Health Madison Dane County, and Focused Interruption are partnering for Wear Orange to bring attention to the issue of gun violence in our local community. This year’s event centers around healing a local community impacted by violence. A memorial mural–a collaboration between DAMA (Developing Artist Murals and Alliances), the residents of Harmony Apartments, and the wider community–will be unveiled during the evening. Please join us for this family-friendly community event with food trucks, kids’ activities, music, and guest speakers.
