Amy Schumer, Jennifer Aniston, Sofia Vergara, and Julianne Moore are just a few of the celebrities who joined President Obama in speaking out against gun violence this week.

A PSA called 'We Can End Gun Violence' comes after the horrific shooting in San Bernardino, California last week that killed 14 people and injured 21 others in what authorities say was an act of terrorism.

Recent shootings: The PSA called 'We can end gun violence' comes after the horrific shooting in San Bernardino, California last week that killed 14 people and injured 21 others in what authorities say was an act of terrorism. Pictured here is a makeshift memorial following the December 6 act of terror

The heartfelt message from stars such as Sarah Silverman, Nathan Lane, Debra Messing, Kevin Bacon, Michael J. Fox, Olivia Munn, and Kristen Schaal also comes out just days before the anniversary of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut.

‘When we come together, Americans can do anything,’ Obama says in the video.

Gun violence survivors along with supporters of the cause are asked to submit their own messages.

A survivor of the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007, Colin Goddard, spoke with Variety about the star-studded PSA.

'This new video sends a clear message that we will rally together to help end gun violence. The gun safety movement has grown tremendously over the past few years and what’s more: we’re winning. We’re defeating the gun lobby in statehouses across the country and making it clear that we won’t sit idly by while 88 Americans are killed by gun violence every day and hundreds more are injured,' he said.

The PSA was created by a group called Everytown for Gun Safety.

President Barack Obama used his Sunday night address on terrorism to reassure the American people that the San Bernardino shootings last week appear to be an isolated incident, despite one of the killers pledging allegiance to ISIS.

The president firmly dismissed a change in strategy in the war against the extremists that would require combat troops on the ground in Iraq and Syria.

And while the terrorist group is made up of 'thugs and killers' and is part of a 'cult of death', he again refused to call them 'radical Islamic terrorists'.

Americans must not take out their grievances with the fanatics on followers of Islam, he said.

'Muslim Americans are our friends and our neighbors are coworkers, our sports heroes. And yes, they are our men and women in uniform who are willing to die in defense of our country,' the president said, speaking from the Oval Office. 'We have to remember that.'

He also called on Congress to pass legislation barring individuals on the no-fly list from purchasing guns.
