In a stand against gun violence, several celebrities are wearing orange and sharing it online with the hashtag #WearOrange.

Amy Schumer, Julianne Moore, Judd Apatow and Lin-Manuel Miranda are among the stars posting on social media about Gun Violence Awareness Day Friday.

“Join in the fight to end gun violence,” “Hamilton” creator Miranda wrote.

On average, 93 people die of gun violence a day, according to Everytown, a group dedicated to ending gun violence.

Many of the celebrities shouted out victims of gun violence in their honor. Schumer tweeted that she is wearing orange for Ronique Williams, and Moore posted a series of posts on Instagram  holding photos of victims.

Here’s a roundup of celebrity #WearOrange posts.
