Gearing up for National Gun Violence Awareness Day
Each year, gun violence prevention advocates across the United States wear orange in memory of Hadiyah Pendleton on National Gun Violence Awareness Day, the first Friday of June. Learn more about the Wear Orange movement
We encourage all supporters of Nuns Against Gun Violence and our partner congregations and organizations to take part in this annual campaign. Here are a few ways to get involved.

Plan a prayer vigil
Our Prayer Working Group has prepared a prayer vigil template that anyone can use to hold their own event. You can find the service in both pdf and editable versions in our toolkit. We have also included resources for spreading the word and publicizing your event.
Attend a Wear Orange event near you
People around the country are coming together with a simple message: there's more we can do to end gun violence. Join the movement by signing up to attend an event during Wear Orange Weekend, June 6-8.
