Historical BackgroundReturn to Top

The nationwide March for Our Lives was led by students across the country to address the epidemic of mass school shootings and gun violence. Specifically the event grew as a result of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting in Parkland, Florida that took 17 lives. The march in Seattle was organized by a student-led group March for Our Lives Seattle. Their Facebook page states “We, the youth of Washington, are infuriated. Infuriated with the lack of action regarding gun violence by the U.S. Congress and by our Washington State legislators….” Rallies in Seattle accompanied a march which started at Cal Anderson Park and ended at Seattle Center near the Key Arena. Specific goals of the march included; universal background checks, banning the sale of semi-automatic rifles, ending the effective ban on federally funded research into gun violence, and raising the legal age to own a gun in Washington State from 18 to 21. This march, recognizing that many of the participants would soon reach eligible voting age, also had a large emphasis on voter registration and encouraged participants to let their voices and votes be heard in upcoming elections. Speakers and performers at the events included Governor Jay Inslee, U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson and Singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile.

In 2013 Hadiya Pendleton was shot and killed in Chicago at the age of 15. Pendleton, one week before, had performed at President Obama’s 2nd inaugural parade. Following her death Pendleton’s friends asked for people to stand up, speak out and wear orange to bring awareness to gun violence. The color orange was chosen because it is the color hunters wear to protect themselves and others from harm in the woods. Orange is a bold and highly visible color, and supporters derive strength from this bold color in their efforts to bring about change. June 2nd is National Gun Violence Awareness Day where supporters wear orange in an effort to end gun violence in America.

The shooter, Allen Christopher Ivanov, was reportedly motivated by a recent breakup with one of the victims, and he referred to himself as a “future shooter” when speaking to a friend several days before the shooting. As Ivanov was able to purchase an assault weapon at the age of 19, the event prompted gun control debates centered on banning the sale of assault weapons and enforcing background checks, among other measures.

Following her death Pendleton’s friends asked for people to stand up, speak out and wear orange to bring awareness to gun violence. The color orange was chosen because it is the color hunters wear to protect themselves and others from harm in the woods. Orange is a bold and highly visible color, and supporters derive strength from this bold color in their efforts to bring about change. June 2nd is National Gun Violence Awareness Day where supporters wear orange in an effort to end gun violence in America.

March participant wearing an orange shirt to bring awareness to gun violence, Westlake Park, Seattle, Washington
In 2013 Hadiya Pendleton was shot and killed in Chicago at the age of 15. Pendleton, one week before, had performed at President Obama’s 2nd inaugural parade. Following her death Pendleton’s friends asked for people to stand up, speak out and wear orange to bring awareness to gun violence. The color orange was chosen because it is the color hunters wear to protect themselves and others from harm in the woods. Orange is a bold and highly visible color, and supporters derive strength from this bold color in their efforts to bring about change. June 2nd is National Gun Violence Awareness Day where supporters wear orange in an effort to end gun violence in America.
