Declare first Friday in June as Gun Violence Awareness Day
In Plain English
Richmond would join a national movement to honor gun violence victims and survivors. The observance began in 2013 after 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was killed in Chicago. If approved, residents can participate by wearing orange on the first Friday in June to raise awareness about gun violence prevention.
