It's just more reason for us to continue doing our events.” - @MayorSPH #MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns westchester.news12.com/mount-vernon-police-suspect-wanted-for-firing-shots-near-gun-violence-awareness-event

Nothing is killing children and teens in the U.S. more than guns. We don’t have to live like this. Our children shouldn’t be dying like this. This #WearOrange Weekend, join us in calling attention to our nation’s preventable gun violence crisis. pic.twitter.com/xrI0WObAGG

Let this sink in. Gun violence has brought tragedy and trauma into far too many lives, and it’s up to us to stop it. On Gun Violence Awareness Day, we #WearOrange and call on our leaders to listen to the vast majority of Americans who are demanding commonsense gun safety laws. pic.twitter.com/aDErJm4FZB
