June 5–7 is Wear Orange Weekend.
Orange was chosen for Gun Violence Awareness because it’s the color hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves and others — a color that symbolizes safety and visibility.
This weekend, wear orange to honor survivors, remember lives lost to gun violence, and show your support for safer communities.
At Esperanza Shelter, we recognize the connection between gun violence and domestic violence, and we remain committed to prevention, education, and hope for every survivor.
Wear orange. Speak up. Stand together.
