Newtown Tragedy: Jon Hamm, Beyonce, & More Demand a Plan in New PSA
This week, none of us were quite sure how to act. In the wake of the Newtown shooting,
we were a nation at a standstill. How do we proceed? What can we do to
prevent these tragedies from happening? But as time wore on, we began to
spring into action, demanding change, and the voices in Hollywood are
no different. Now, some of the biggest and most beloved celebrities in
entertainment have banded together to demand a plan for gun control so
that our nation no longer has to mourn tragedies like that in Newtown,
Aurora, and Virginia Tech.
Familiar faces from Jon Hamm, Beyonce, Joel McHale, Reese Witherspoon, Chris Rock (to name a few) have assembled to support DemandaPlan.org, an organization that aims to get “common sense legislation” passed that will require a criminal background check for every gun sold in the U.S., ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines, and make gun trafficking a federal crime.
The pared down video presents an emotional case for making changes in gun legislation. It’s hard not to be moved by the sheer amount of support from Hollywood at one of the darkest moments in U.S. history.
