Rolling Stone, which is owned by WWD parent company PMC, has partnered with Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund in their work to end gun violence. As part of the initiative, Rolling Stone has designed a special-edition T-shirt to bring attention to National Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend, from June 2 to 4.
Everytown Support Fund is the education, research and litigation arm of Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in the country.
According to statistics from Everytown, every day in the U.S. 120 people are shot and killed, and hundreds more are shot and wounded, with countless others left to witness gun violence.
