The noise around gun violence is loud. Orange is louder. Join us and #WearOrange on June 2nd.
Bishops United Against Gun Violence (Bishop Thompson is a member) recently became a partner in the Wear Orange movement. The goal of the movement is to inspire as many people as possible to wear orange on Thursday, June 2 as a symbol of their commitment to work for an end to gun violence.
Here is how you can help:
- Share the social media links below on your personal and diocesan Facebook pages and Twitter streams several times before May 30
- Encourage people in your dioceses to have their pictures taken in orange garb on June 2
- Encourage people in your dioceses to post those pictures on social media using TWO hashtags: #WearOrange and #Episcopal. (We will then share these photos more broadly from the Episcopalians Against Gun Violence Facebook page and The Cross Lobby Twitter stream.
Here are the social media links referred to above. Please use them at least twice between now and May 30, and then follow up with your own posts on June 1 reminding everyone to wear orange the following day.
