Thank you @iHeartRadio Wango Tango for having me & thank you to everyone who joined me in orange 🧡

Congress is getting ready to vote on key gun violence legislation, so please text bold to 644-33 & call your senators to tell them to take action on gun safety now #WearOrange

[AFT @AFTunion]

Today marks the beginning of #WearOrange weekend, where we wear orange to remember those we've lost to gun violence and demand action from lawmakers to prevent gun violence.

Read & RT this thread to spread the word on how AFT is taking action to #EndGunViolenceNow. (1/3)

"We can't fail the American people again.” If Congress doesn't act, President Biden says Americans should "turn your outrage into making this issue central to your vote. Enough. Enough. Enough."

[Rev Sharon Risher @RisherRev]

I #WearOrange for my mother, and the 8 others killed in Emanuel AME Church, 2015. #EndGunViolenceNow #DisarmHate

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Today, I #WearOrange on Gun Violence Awareness Day in honor of Hadiya Pendleton and every victim of gun violence. This crisis has touched far too many Americans. We cannot let another year pass without action.

I will never stop fighting for a future free from gun violence.

[Maura LaMendola @Maura_dola]

Today on National Gun Violence Awareness Day, I #WearOrange to honor the more than 40K lives that are taken by gun violence each year, and the countless lives that are forever changed by this preventable crisis. TEXT BOLD to 644 -33 @Everytown

[Jessica McMaster @JessMcMasterKC]

It’s worth repeating. A mom drove there. Got handcuffed. Got out of handcuffs. Hopped a fence. Went inside the school and walked out with her two kids. All while 19 officers waited outside the classroom where the gunman was. #UvaldePolice #Uvalde

SF Giants Manager Gabe Kapler will now refuse to take field for the National Anthem. He says he is done “participating in the glorification of the only country where mass shootings take place.” https://t.co/ytq2UPrIAl

[Maura LaMendola @Maura_dola]

Across America, people will #WearOrange on June 3—National Gun Violence Awareness day—to honor victims and survivors of gun violence and to call attention to this crisis that takes more than 110 lives every single day. Learn more at https://t.co/ejilhN2m6f.

"THEY WILL BAN BOOKS, BUT DO NOTHING ABOUT GUNS"

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

Hillary Clinton goes in on the GOP: ‘Republicans will claim they’re on the side of parents and family values, but they will do nothing for actual parents … nothing on child care, nothing on paid leave … they’ll ban books but do nothing about guns’

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Biden on the Remington settlement: "This progress is the result of the perseverance of nine families who turned tragedy into purpose. They have demonstrated that state and city consumer protection laws … provide an opportunity to hold gun manufacturers and dealers accountable."

[Everytown @Everytown]

HUGE: The largest school district in Virginia is becoming one of the safest in the country! Thanks to the advocacy of @MomsDemand and @StudentsDemand volunteers, Fairfax County School Board continues to put students first by keeping guns out of all school-related spaces.
