George and Amal Clooney Donate $500k to March Against Guns

Actor George Clooney is showing that he truly is a “peacemaker.” He and his wife, Amal, are giving $500,000 to “March for out Lives,” a protest across the country against firearm viciousness.

In an announcement discharged Tuesday, the couple says they're motivated by the "bravery and expert articulation" of the survivors-diverted activists from Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Seventeen individuals were murdered and several others injured when a former student opened fire in the school with an ambush rifle. Survivors are preparing a walk on March 24th in Washington and other locations to encourage legislators to institute harder firearm control. 

The Clooneys say they're giving the cash in the names of their eight-month-old twins Ella and Alexander. The couple likewise says the family intends to "stand one next to the other" with understudies one month from now.

Other celebrities are standing with the Clooneys, acknowledging their efforts and donating to the cause as well. Hollywood greats adding their names to the list of donors of a whopping $500,000 are Oprah, Jeffrey and Marilyn Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw.
