Following the 2013 murder of 18-year old Hadiya Pendleton in Chicago, the Pendleton family asked that activists wear orange to raise awareness of gun violence. In subsequent years, orange became the color of National Gun Violence Awareness Day in June, and is widely recognized as the color of the gun control movement. The nonprofit group Everytown for Gun Safety sells merchandise with the slogan "wear orange" to finance their work towards building awareness and passing legislation to regulate gun sales and use in America.

Blue Island is a city in Illinois with a population of around 24,000, It is notable for the whole community being made a designated preserve America community in 2007. The city is one of the oldest in Cook County, being established in 1835. It grew in prominence as people settled there while traveling on the Vincennes Trail, which connected Illinois to Indiana. 

Throughout the 19th century, Blue Island was also a major manufacturing powerhouse of the area, bringing jobs, wealth, and prosperity to the city and surrounding region. The city helped to support both the brick and railroad industry before eventually being outpaced by larger cities in the 20th century. In 1894, railroad workers organized the well-known Pullman Strike, which caused the United States infantry to come in and impose martial law.

In the 1988 book If Women Counted, Marilyn Waring spoke out against a United Nations economic study which defined traditionally female work (homemaking, caretaking, etc.) as “of little or no importance.” Though this new fight came during the transition from the second to the third wave of feminism, it sparked what would be known as the Mommy Wars, a cultural and emotional arena which pitted working mothers against stay-at-home mothers. “Every mother is a working mother” was not only adopted as a quick retort to those who undervalued home and parenting work, but was also taken on as the name of non-profit advocacy groups, batted around in political discourse around the welfare system, and even in campaigns for pay equality, access to reproductive care, childcare and more.

The Tinley Park Fire Department was founded in 1901 in Tinley Park, Illinois, and has since been providing the area with fire suppression as well as fire prevention through outreach and programs in the community. They are very active in the community to advance public safety through fire prevention, investigation, and education programs. The Tinley Park Fire Dept. was once volunteer based, however, as the town of Tinley Park has expanded, so has the fire department. There are now 4 strategically placed fire-houses in the area so to ensure they are all fully staffed firefighters are scheduled and are paid-per-call, this change happening in 1976. The over 125 firefighters are scheduled part-time at one of the 4 fire-houses, with a few key positions being full time, such as fire chief.
