Orange Origami Cranes for National Gun Violence Awareness : 02/13/19

Wednesday, February 13, 2019

Several groups have expressed a want to include making orange origami cranes as part of their events for #WearOrange 2019, which is from June 7-9. In order to make the project open to as many people as possible, I am extending the timeline for making cranes.

If you need paper for you or your organization to fold cranes, please email me at orangeamanda@yahoo.com.

Thank you for your continued support!

In 2016 over 37,000 people lost their lives to gun violence in the United States.

37,000.

We are making orange origami cranes to remember each of these people.

Origami cranes are a symbol of hope and healing. Each crane is a prayer, a thought, a remembrance. Every crane folded is an action.

Orange is the color of National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Read about it at wearorange.org.

We are making orange cranes to remember victims of gun violence.

You can help. Make orange cranes. Make cranes in public to start the conversation about gun violence. Make cranes marked with the names of the people we lost. Make cranes to remember the people you never knew.

We will add your cranes to a public display.
