"Wear Orange" Movement Spreads Awareness on Gun Violence

Survivors of gun violence and advocates for gun control laws gathered at a "Wear Orange" event in Albuquerque to raise awareness of the impact of gun violence. Regina Griego, a member of Moms Demand Action and Everytown for Gun Safety, is focused on passing laws to prevent dangerous individuals from obtaining guns and to outlaw large capacity ammunition magazines and assault weapons. Josette Otero, who lost her son to gun violence, emphasized the importance of supporting advocacy efforts and changing laws to prevent further tragedies.

Gun violence awareness events held across multiple US cities.

Gun violence prevention groups Moms Demand Action and End Gun Violence Michigan are leading 25 events across Michigan throughout June, which is Gun Violence Prevention Month. The events include marches, talks, film screenings, and community service, and aim to honor victims, promote new laws, and advocate for an end to gun violence. The Democrat-majority legislature recently passed legislation for universal background checks, safe storage of guns when children are in the home, and extreme risk protection orders.
