In the wake of a horrific string of school shootings in Parkland, Florida and across the country, it looks as if Hollywood will be joining in on the gun control conversation in one of the best ways they know: pins.

According to a source who spoke with People, some attendees of the 90th Academy Awards will be sporting an orange-hued American flag pin from Everytown, an organization dedicated to gun safety across the nation.

Who exactly will be wearing the pin is unknown, and it's unclear if this movement will resonate on the red carpet in the same way Time's Up did at the Golden Globes. Whether or not it does, the teens of Parkland, Florida have the backing of some famous faces off the red carpet—and millions of citizens—as they gear up to flood Washington D.C. during March for Our Lives on March 24.

The pins are back in stock on the organization's website so regardless of whether or not celebrities participate en masse on Sunday, you can on the daily.
