On Wear Orange Sunday (June 1), we recognize that gun violence is a racial justice issue. While gun violence affects us all, we know that it disproportionately impacts Black and Brown people. A Black person is over 10 times more likely than a white person to die by firearm homicide. Hispanic/Latino people are over twice as likely, and Indigenous people are almost 3.5 times more likely to be killed by a firearm compared to white people. Community-based groups, led by BIPOC organizers, have worked relentlessly to develop community-based solutions that successfully reduce gun violence for all of us.
