At least 19 children and two adults were killed by a gunman at Robb Elementary School on Tuesday (24.05.22), and celebrities have been calling for change in the United States.
Sharing a video of NBA coach Steve Kerrโs passionate plea for tighter gun control, Taylor tweeted: โFilled with rage and grief, and so broken by the murders in Uvalde.
โBy Buffalo, Laguna Woods and so many others. By the ways in which we, as a nation, have become conditioned to unfathomable and unbearable heartbreak.
โSteveโs words ring so true and cut so deep.โ
Golden State Warriors coach Kerr emotionally urged politicians to take action as he blasted the โpatheticโ state of affairs, and refused to discuss basketball during his press conference.
He said: โIโm tired. Iโm so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there.
โIโm so tired of the โ Iโm sorry โ Iโm tired of the moments of silence. Enough.โ
He added: โI ask all of you senators who refuse to do anything about the violence and school shootings and supermarket shootings, I ask you: Are you going to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of our children and our elderly and our churchgoers? Because thatโs what it looks like.โ
Taking to Twitter, Chris Evans simply said: โF****** ENOUGH!!!!โ
Selena Gomez called on โthose in powerโ to โstop giving lip serviceโ and take action.
She wrote: โToday in my home state of Texas 18 innocent students were killed while simply trying to get an education.
โA teacher killed doing her job; an invaluable yet sadly under appreciated job. If children arenโt safe at school where are they safe?
โItโs so frustrating and Iโm not sure what to say anymore. Those in power need to stop giving lip service and actually chance the laws to prevent these shootings in the future.โ
