🌟 June 5 — National Gun Violence Awareness Day (Wear Orange Day)

At Rising Well, we recognize Wear Orange Day as a time to honor lives lost, uplift survivors, and stand together in the movement to end gun violence in our communities.

This day was inspired by Chicago teens who refused to be silent after the 2013 killing of Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old honors student and drum majorette who was tragically shot in a playground just days after performing in President Obama’s second inaugural parade. In her memory, her friends began wearing orange — the color hunters use to signal “don’t shoot” — to honor Hadiya and all those affected by gun violence.

The first national Wear Orange Day was held on June 2, 2015, on what would have been Hadiya’s 18th birthday. Today, Wear Orange is observed annually on the first Friday in June as a national call to action for peace, prevention, and healing.

At Rising Well, we understand that violence and trauma are deeply connected to the behavioral health and social challenges faced in our communities. Healing begins when we come together with compassion, awareness, and a commitment to prevention and support.

We believe in building communities where safety, dignity, and healing are possible for everyone — especially those most impacted by trauma, homelessness, and systemic barriers.

Today we wear orange in solidarity. Tomorrow, we continue the work of healing through care, connection, and community support.
