Lori Broadhurst's Gun Violence Prevention Fundraising Page
As a parent of four sons and someone who has lost a loved one to gun violence, I hope that we can find ways to reduce deaths and injuries in our country due to gun violence. Please support my effort to raise awareness and combat the ravages of gun violence in our society.
Your donation will support Moms Demand Action/Everytown for Gun Safety and Wear Orange events across the nation, including in Pensacola, FL, which will raise awareness and provide resources for getting involved. Donations will also support the BeSMART campaign, which helps parents and adults prevent child gun deaths and injuries, the Everytown Survivor Network, Survivor Engagement programs, GunSense University which trains hundreds of activists and survivors to increase heir impact in working to reduce gun violence, and The Everytown for Gun Safety Research Support Fund.
Wear Orange, National Gun Violence Awareness Day, is on June 2nd, 2017. In 2012, Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old Chicago high school student who had just marched in President Obama’s reinauguaral parade was killed by gunfire in her hometown of Chicago. Friends of hers decided to honor her life by wearing orange–the color hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves and others. On June 2, 2015, what would have been Hadiya’s 18th birthday, more than 200organizations and influencers asked people nationwide to join them by wearing orange to honor her life, the lives of the more than 90 Americans killed by gun violence and the hundreds more who are injured every day.
In just two years, the Wear Orange campaign, inspired by bold and creative teens who refused to be silent in the face of daily gun violence, has turned into a nationwide movement to honor the victims and survivors of gun violence in America. Last year hundreds of thousands of Americans joined us on June 2nd in calling for an end to gun violence. Over 150cities declared June 2nd Gun Violence Awareness Day, Moms Demand Action volunteer leaders held over 200 public events spanning all 50 states, skylines turned orange from coast to coast, and from local school districts, to major corporations, America turned orange. This year, we’re planning an even louder,brighter, and bigger display–to give everyone in America the chance to join our movement, and to lend their voice to end gun violence.
Together, we will organize a day of action that shows indisputably that there is a movement of Americans united in the belief that we must do more to stop gun violence. Please donate to save lives from gun violence and Wear Orange in real life and on social media on June 2, 2017. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
