Why We Wear Orange
June marks the 10th annual National Gun Violence Awareness Month to raise awareness and help end gun violence. June 7 kicks off the #WearOrange campaign, a representation of gun violence victims, survivors, and those working together to end gun violence.
Today we think deeply about the victims, their families, their friends, colleagues and communities and the lifelong impact such trauma has for them. We hold their hearts with ours and wish for better.
At Evolv, we are driven by a vision of a world where people can gather without the constant fear of gun violence. We come to work every day with a deep sense of purpose to do our small part in making the world a safer place. One billion people scanned. Over 400,000 weapons detected last year alone from entering prohibited spaces. Countless stories of loaded guns being stopped when they see Evolv.
We may never be able to quantify exactly what has been prevented, but we won’t stop working towards solutions to help put an end to gun violence. We all deserve to live in a world where we feel safe to gather… to live, to learn, to work and to play.
This is why we #wearorange.
