Obama Has A Message For Gun Control Supporters In Wake Of Gun Violence Awareness Day
Gun control advocates across the nation on Friday joined together to protest gun violence and call for stricter gun laws. President Barack Obama took to Twitter to encourage gun control advocates to keep pushing for changes in gun legislation.
Obama's progressive group, Organizing For America (OFA), also encouraged followers to join the #WearOrange campaign.
The link on OFA's website tells followers to take a picture of them wearing orange, use one of the "Wear Orange 2018" photo frames and then upload it directly to the Wear Orange campaign's image gallery.
