Wear orange to support an end to gun violence

TAKE a stand this Friday and show everyone that you have had enough of gun violence by wearing something orange.

The effort to mobilise people was launched by East Coast Breakfast following the tragic murder of nine-year-old Sadia Sukhraj on Monday.

‘We care about the well-being of all our people in KZN and we want every single person to join us and #StandUpForSadia as well as for the many other victims of gun violence by wearing and displaying anything orange this Friday.

‘In order to be truly effective, we’re asking that people encourage their family, friends and colleagues, as well as schools to take part,’ said East Coast Radio’s Programming Manager Zane Derbyshire.

The reason people have been encouraged to wear orange specifically in order to make their voices heard is because it has become the defining colour of the gun violence prevention movement worldwide.

It first started when in 2013 Hadiya Pendleton’s friends wore orange in her honour when she was shot and killed in Chicago at the age of 15.

Also, share your pictures and videos of you and your family and friends wearing or displaying orange on social media this Friday, using the hashtag:#StandUpForSadia.
