In light of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Hollywood entertainers have pulled together to use their celebrity for more effective gun legislation.

In a recently released Demand a Plan PSA, celebrities such as Beyonce, Jamie Foxx, Chris Rock, John Legend and Carmelo Anthony urge lawmakers to put forth a plan to increase gun control.

In the 90-second video, the stars attempt to draw attention to gun violence by listing multiple mass shootings from Virginia Tech to Columbine. “How many more colleges? How many more classrooms? How many more movie theaters? How many more houses of faith,” they ask.

The PSA was released on the same day as the National Rifle Association’s press conference, where they demanded for access to guns to be protected.

Demand a Plan is a grassroots movement that fights for gun law reform.
