Harry Styles isn’t just posting on social media about the devastation of the shooting in Uvalde, Texas that left 19 children and two teachers dead earlier this week.
He’s also putting money behind his sentiments.
The singer, who just released “Harry’s House,” announced that he will partner with Live Nation to donate at least $1 million in proceeds from his latest tour to the nonprofit Everytown for Gun Safety.
“Along with all of you, I have been absolutely devastated by the recent string of mass shootings in America, culminating at the latest in Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas,” Styles posted on his Instagram account Friday. “On our North American tour, we will be partnering with Everytown who work to end gun violence, donating to support their efforts, and sharing their suggested action items.”
The money will be directed to Everytown’s Guns Safety Support fund, the education, research, and litigation arm of the nonprofit.
Celebrities such as Selena Gomez, and Taylor Swift and other celebrities have shared condolences and expressed outrage.
Texas native Matthew McConaughey shared a statement on Instagram Tuesday: “As you all are aware there was another mass shooting today, this time in my home town of Uvalde, Texas. Once again, we have tragically proven that we are failing to be responsible for the rights our freedoms grant us.”
Styles recently added 10 dates to the sold-out “Love on Tour 2022” which begins in August. Live Nation is producing the show which includes 42 dates across North America.
The caption to Styles’ post was simple: “End gun violence.”
Styles post also included the message, “Firearms are the #1 leading cause of death for American children and teens.”
