🧡 The #TacCouncil declared June 6-8, 2025, as Wear Orange Weekend to raise awareness about gun violence prevention. We’re flying orange flags over City buildings through June 10, 2025, to increase visibility of this important issue and honor those who have been lost. We’ll also continue to ...support and help fund community initiatives, like Teen Late Nights, that create safe spaces for #Tacoma youth. Together, we can help end the epidemic of gun violence.
