John Legend and Chrissy Teigen Donate Money to Anti-Gun Movement
The popular celebrity couple recently joined a long list of celebrities offering monetary support to the March for Our Lives movement.
“We support the students,” Legend told AP Entertainment, “We’re proud of the students. We’ve already sent them money. We sent them $25,000 to help with whatever costs they have for organizing, and we believe that our gun culture needs to change in America.”

The singer went on to state, “We stand out among other major countries in the world when it comes to these types of massacres, but also in the everyday gun violence that people have to deal with. I don’t think that we should accept that as normal. I think we’ve decided that everyone having unfettered access to guns is more important than all of us being safe, and I think we need to reshape that balance a bit so that we’re all more safe.”
