Letter: Please wear orange for Gun Violence Awareness
On May 5, 2021, the Bristol Town Council unanimously adopted a Proclamation declaring June 4, 2021, as National Gun Violence Awareness Day in Bristol. According to the Gun Violence Archive in Washington, in the three weeks after the Proclamation was adopted, 1,318 people were killed and 2,465 injured by gun violence in the United States. On May 13, Providence experienced the largest shooting in their history when nine people were shot in the Washington Park area.
To mark the day, we ask that Bristolians please wear orange on June 4, to recognize Gun Violence Awareness Day. The only way to slow this epidemic is to work together, and it starts with awareness.
