“The Wear Orange Campaign was inspired by friends of Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old
Chicago student killed by gunfire just days after dancing in the President's Inaugural Parade.
They decided to honor her life by wearing orange — the color hunters wear in the woods to say
"see me". On June 2, what would have been Hadiya’s 20th birthday, hundreds of thousands of
Americans will come together to #WearOrange and show their support for a future free from gun
violence. This year, Moms Demand Action is running our first ever Wear Orange fundraising
campaign to support our work to elevate the voices of survivors of gun violence, our BeSMART
campaign to promote gun safety and prevent child gun deaths, and our ongoing efforts to train
more gun sense activists. Please contribute to support gun sense policies and invest in the
women who will lead us to a future free from gun violence!”
