Part 3 to Cats PJ’s dig on Orange assignment.

The link we began examining in the previous part had to do with a WEAR ORANGE to end gun violence. They have thoughtfully provided a big Looooong list of who is supporting their effort. Most are not surprising, but some are. What could be valuable to FReeQs is that many of the listings are local listing. It might prove valuable to look up the list and search for jurisdictions of interest.

One classification on the list is that of LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL PARTNERS to the Wear Orange effort. There are a lot of them. You might wish to go to the link below, and scroll down to see if your jurisdiction has signed on:

https://wearorange.org/supporters/

Grabbed only a few:
Conway, AR
Fayetteville, AR
Little Rock, AR
Rogers, AR
San Francisco, CA
Thousand Oaks, CA
Denver, CO...

*texokie sits under the Steinweigh in great relief. There are no jurisdictions mentioned for Oklahoma. Alas, there are some for Texas*

It was a surprise to me, but it seems that BUILDINGS AND LANDMARKS CAN BE ANTI-GUN TOO. Again, I collected only a smattering:
