Lady Gaga may not be able to fix the country and its gun laws with her prayers, but she is doing something for the communities affected by the recent shootings. In the wake of last week’s mass shootings in Gilroy, California; El Paso, Texas; and Dayton, Ohio, the singer has announced that she will be donating to classrooms in those three areas.

MTV News reports that she announced the news to her Facebook that she will be partnering with DonorsChoose.org and her own Born This Way Foundation “to fully fund the classroom project needs in 14 classrooms in Dayton, 125 classrooms in El Paso, and 23 classrooms in Gilroy.”

The gesture comes after singer Lana Del Rey co-wrote a song for the growing violence happening in the country. “Surviving and recovering from these tragedies also means prioritizing your mental health and checking in on your loved ones,” Gaga wrote. “If you see a loved one struggling, please be brave and reach out, remind them it’s ok to not be ok, and listen to them. We cannot turn away from ourselves. We cannot turn away from our loved ones. We need each other. Don’t turn away.”
