Today, I #WearOrange on Gun Violence Awareness Day in honor of Hadiya Pendleton, and every person impacted by gun violence in America. At just 15-years-old, Hadiya’s life was stolen when she was shot and killed while with her friends at a park in Chicago. She had just finished her final exams, and the week before, she had performed in President Obama’s inauguration. Like so many victims of gun violence, Hadiya had her whole life ahead of her. She should still be here. Today, I’m thinking of Hadiya, her family, and every child in America who has been a victim or a survivor of gun violence. I’m wearing orange in their honor—because I refuse to let this crisis be overlooked. Together, we can build a future free from gun violence.
