MOMS DEMAND ACTION SANTA BARBARA WELCOMES PUBLIC TO HONOR GUN VIOLENCE SURVIVORS WITH WEAR ORANGE DAY BEACH CLEAN-UP
Saturday June 7 from 10 am-12 pm
Chase Palm Park
236 E. Cabrillo Blvd.
Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teens. Not drownings. Not car accidents. Guns.
On Saturday, June 7 from 10 am-noon, volunteers with the Santa Barbara Chapter of Moms Demand Action will gather at Chase Palm Park in Santa Barbara for a beach clean-up effort.
Community officials are invited to speak and press and the public are welcome to join us as we honor the lives of those senselessly taken from us, and offer data-driven solutions for preventing further tragedies from occurring.
ABOUT WEAR ORANGE
Wear Orange began on June 2, 2015 – what would have been Hadiya Pendleton’s 18th birthday. Her friends honored her by wearing orange after she was shot and killed. Today, Wear Orange honors Hadiya and the more than 120 Americans shot and killed every day.
ABOUT MOMS DEMAND ACTION
Moms Demand Action is a grassroots movement of Americans fighting for public safety measures that can protect people from gun violence. We pass stronger gun laws and work to close the loopholes that jeopardize the safety of our families. We also work in our own communities and with business leaders to encourage a culture of responsible gun ownership. We know that gun violence is preventable, and we’re committed to doing what it takes to keep families safe. Moms Demand Action has chapters in every state of the country and Washington, D.C., and is part of Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in the country with nearly 11 million supporters.
