Kentucky’s chapter of the anti-gun violence group Moms Demand Action is promoting “Wear Orange Weekend” with events in Frankfort, Lexington and Louisville Thursday and Saturday. Teri Carter, Moms Demand Action’s state communication leader, said the group was started by the mother of one of the Sandy Hook Elementary children murdered in a mass shooting in 2012.
“The purpose is to bring attention to gun violence and kind of the scourge of gun violence and to honor people who have been stolen by being shot.”
