Keeping Up With the Delegation

Congresswoman Robin Kelly and Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth have introduced the Wear Orange Resolution, designating June 6 as National Gun Violence Awareness Day and the entire month as National Gun Violence Awareness Month. The resolution honors Hadiya Pendleton, who was shot dead in 2013, a week after she performed in President Barack Obama’s second inauguration. Her family and friends started the Wear Orange movement to raise awareness about gun violence.
