Although it may seem far away, June will be here before we know it. As we approach Wear Orange Weekend 2025, the Wisconsin Council of Churches invites you to join us in standing together for a cause that deeply matters to our communities and to God’s call for peace. From June 6th to June 8th, we remember those who have lost their lives to gun violence, and we seek to honor their memory by making our voices heard. Inspired by the tragic death of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton in 2013, this weekend is an opportunity to reflect on the violence that plagues our society and commit to being agents of change.

The Wear Orange Weekend 2025 Packet (pdf, 290 KB) is now available for download. Feel free to reach out to Zoe Scrivener at intern@wichurches.org if you have any questions or ideas, or if you would like to let me know about a Wear Orange Weekend event in your area.
