On June 2, 2015, on what would have been Hadiya\u2019s 18th birthday, a group of her friends chose to wear orange to remember her life.<\/p>\n<p>They chose orange because it is the color that hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves and others. What started as a way to celebrate one life has evolved into a movement to raise awareness, show support and inspire action to help end violence.<\/p>\n<p>So add a splash of orange to your outfit on June 2, and give a nod of support to others who do the same.
