TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - If you see a lot of orange today, it's likely in honor of National Gun Violence Awareness Day. People across the country will celebrate today.

Right here in Tallahassee, Moms Demand Action is making sure they're seen and heard.

WTXL's Jada WIlliams is live at the capital this morning

She said the people picked organge not randomly but because of its vibrancy and how noticeable it is.

This year's theme is "Use your Voice," and Saturday the group is inviting the youth to use theirs.

They will be hosting an open mic contest and chalk drawing contest at the Lake ANita Favors Plaza.
