Rochester: Mayor Evans, County Executive Bello Proclaim June 2-4 Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend
TelAve News/10791862
~ Today, Mayor Malik D. Evans and County Executive Adam Bello proclaimed this weekend as Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend in Rochester and Monroe County. The proclamation was read by dozens of orange-clad members of the Rochester Peace Collective and the Roc Against Gun Violence Coalition, who are joining a national movement to associate gun violence with the orange color hunters wear to protect human life.
The City-County Proclamation stated that the City of Rochester and County of Monroe are committed to ending gun violence with the support of law enforcement agencies at the local, state and federal levels; and a host of community partners, including the ROC Against Gun Violence Coalition and the Rochester Peace Collective. The proclamation also called on people of Rochester and Monroe County to wear orange in order to come together as one community to heal, offer comfort and support, and join the movement to make gun violence a thing of the past.
The wear-orange movement was initially conceived by classmates of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendelton from Chicago, who was shot and killed on a school playground one week after marching in President Barack Obama's inauguration parade. Since then, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a national grass-roots advocacy agency with a chapter in Monroe County has played a leading role in promoting this message across the country.
