SOUTHFIELD The city of Southfield has joined the rest of the United States in declaring June 4 National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
In a May 24 City Council meeting, Southfield Mayor Ken Siver presented a proclamation that stated the day was to be observed by wearing orange to promote awareness and education on gun violence in America.
“This is something that we have done for a number of years along with other anti-gun-violence activities,” Siver said. “We’re not taking an anti-gun stance, but we just want people to remain safe, secure their weapons and think carefully before they use them, especially when we’re talking about people who are innocent victims because someone is reckless with firing a weapon.”
