In Rochester, residents are coming together to wear orange and show their commitment to reducing gun violence. The effort is led by local community groups and advocacy organizations, who are working to raise awareness about the issue and promote action.
"Gun violence affects us all, and it's time for us to come together to make a change," said a spokesperson for the organization. The movement to wear orange began on June 6, 2026, and will continue throughout the weekend.
Residents are encouraged to share their photos on social media using a specific hashtag, and to participate in community events and rallies. The Downtown Rochester area will host a number of events, including a rally and a vigil, to raise awareness about gun violence. Rochester residents are eager to make a difference and reduce the prevalence of gun violence in their community. The effort is part of a larger movement to address the root causes of gun violence and promote community-based solutions.
As the weekend comes to a close, Rochester residents will be looking to see if their efforts will lead to meaningful change. A community meeting is scheduled for next week to discuss the outcomes of the effort and plan next steps.
