It has been exactly one week since 20 young children and 6 adults were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut - just the latest in a string of devastating, high profile tragedies caused by gun violence. Like millions of Americans across the country, Hollywood's biggest, most talked-about stars have seen enough. On Friday Dec. 21, Mayors Against Illegal Guns released Demand a Plan to End Gun Violence, an online campaign with a powerful, moving video message -- starring a staggering roster of A-list celebrities, including: Beyonce, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Michelle Williams, Courteney Cox, Ellen DeGeneres, Julianne Moore, Selena Gomez, Chris Rock, Jon Hamm, Will Ferrell, Aziz Ansari, Christina Applegate, Debra Messing, Elizabeth Banks, Brooke Shields, Kristen Bell, Jamie Foxx, Sarah Silverman, Amy Poehler, Jason Bateman and others.
Recalling the slew of gun-related tragedies - Columbine, Oak Creek, Virginia Tech and Newtown -- the stars ask in the video, "How many more . . . colleges, classrooms, houses of faith, street corners."
750 mayors and 750,000 grassroots supporters have already joined the campaign to demand that President Obama and Congress step forward with a plan to end gun violence.
They demand legislation that will require a criminal background check for every gun sold in America; ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines; make gun trafficking a federal crime, including real penalties for “straw purchasers”.
