On National Gun Violence Awareness Day, Lawrence's Fish & Shrimp joined the Wear Orange Day campaign, serving a plea to fight gun violence in Chicago.
"We need to get these guns off these streets and it don't seem like they're doing it, and if they are doing something about it, it's not fast enough," said restaurant supervisor LaDawn Merrell.Friday and Saturday, Merrell and her coworkers are all donning orange t-shirts, as well as badges with the names of lost loved ones, as part of the Wear Orange campaign for National Gun Violence Awareness Day on June 3.
Sadly, many in this restaurant community have been personally affected by gun violence. Three members of the family-owned restaurant's staff have been victims of gun violence in the past year. Briana Lawrence, 25, was killed in a mass shooting in Englewood last June. Wear Orange Day is observed every June in honor of Hadiya Pendleton, the Chicago teen killed by a stray bullet in 2013 shortly after she returned from performing at President Obama's second inauguration. Thursday would have been her 25th birthday.
