If Hadiya Pendleton were still alive, she’d be turning 18 tomorrow. But in 2013, shortly after performing at Barack Obama’s inauguration, she was shot and killed while hanging out in a Chicago park.
So, rather than singing “Happy Birthday” and giving out presents on June 2nd, Hadiya’s friends, along with celebrities such as Sarah Silverman, Perez Hilton, and Julianne Moore, plus 60 U.S. mayors, and a coalition of activists and organizations (including MTV), are asking people to wear orange (#WearingOrange) as part of the very first National Gun Violence Awareness Day. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
