Kids and teens are in and out of homes and vehicles all summer. Don’t take chances with firearm safety. Unload and lock up your firearms, and store ammunition locked and separate. Be responsible. Protect what matters most.

This Gun Violence Awareness (aka Wear Orange) day, we are sharing survivor Fon Dockery’s story:

Jenesis was only 8 years old with a smile that still lights up rooms, a love so sincere and welcoming. She was bright, joyful, creative, and full of life. Jenesis had a future she deserved to grow into. But, on July 25th, 2023, I dropped off my two beautiful innocent daughters Jenesis, and Amara, 5 years old, at their babysitter’s home. Traumatically, that same day, I would only pick up one daughter, Amara.

In a single moment, just 4 days away from Jenesis’ 9th birthday, our entire world changed when another child in the home accessed an unsecured gun. Jenesis’ death continues to impact our family and those who love and know her.

What happened to Jenesis didn’t just impact our household. It rippled through our community. This is not just my story. This is a community story. This is a North Carolina story. And for far too many of you, this is your story too.

I Wear Orange because I hope that my story prevents another family from walking through what we are enduring. This is why I work with NCGV–to make sure not one more of our loved ones is taken by gun violence.”

We honor Jenesis’s memory and Fon’s courage in sharing their story. Wear Orange Day is a reminder that behind every statistic is a child, a family, and a life forever changed.

Last night we were honored to attend an event with a national gun violence prevention champion in the Senate, Senator Chris Murphy (@senchrismurphy). He was one of the architects of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022, the first major gun violence prevention bill passed by Congress in nearly 30 years. Thank you, Senator Murphy, for working to keep communities safe throughout the country.

Celebrating culture. Protecting futures.

During Latine Heritage Month, we celebrate the histories, cultures, and contributions of Latine communities—and reaffirm that every community deserves safety.

In North Carolina, young Hispanic/Latino males ages 15–34 were nearly four times as likely to die by gun homicide as their white counterparts, based on finalized CDC data for 2024.

Honoring these communities means investing in their futures. Join us in advocating for community-led violence prevention and resources that help young people thrive.

Today, we honor the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples and recognize the violence perpetrated against them throughout the history of the Americas.

Our work to end violence includes acknowledging this history and the lasting harm of colonization. Allyship means listening to Indigenous voices, supporting Indigenous leadership, and working together for safer communities.

Recognition today. Commitment every day. by @ncgvaction

Roy Cooper has a record of advancing gun violence prevention and public safety in North Carolina.

As governor, he established the state’s Office of Violence Prevention, launched NC S.A.F.E.—a safe-storage initiative that has now distributed more than 175,000 free gun locks—and vetoed legislation that eliminated the state’s handgun purchase-permit and background-check process.

Public safety is on the ballot. Research the candidates and make your plan to vote:

🗳️Early voting: October 15–October 31
🗳️Election Day: November 3

Find early voting locations and additional information at ncsbe.gov.

For Justice Anita Earls, the pursuit of justice is deeply personal.

After her brother was murdered and his killer was never prosecuted, she experienced firsthand what it means for a family to be denied its day in court. That lived experience has shaped her commitment to ensuring victims are heard, violent offenders are held accountable and everyone, regardless of wealth, power or political party, is treated equally under the law.

Gun safety and public safety are on the ballot. Research the candidates and make your plan to vote:

🗳️Early voting: October 15–October 31

🗳️Election Day: November 3
