"We are here celebrating wear orange and we wear orange to demand a future free from gun violence," said Hedrick. People who attended were organized in groups and completed a brief activity to discuss the reason they were at the event and why it is important from them. "I think here in Texas, in many ways politically it can feel like an uphill battle, but you can see here from the turn out and I find everyday in conversations with people about this issue that there is so much common ground on common sense gun laws among everyday people," said Hedrick.
The event also honored the recent National Gun Violence Awareness Day and marked the start of 'Wear Orange Weekend,' which is commemorated on Friday, June 2.
