Celebs Are Putting Their Money Where Their Mouth is - to Help the ACLU
Celebrities are sick of Donald Trump's shit already. So they're doing something about it. A few celebrities are hosting a Facebook Telethon via Facebook Live for the ACLU. The event is called Stand for Rights: A Benefit for the ACLU. It will begin on Friday, March 31 at 7 p.m. ET.
Stand for Rights will feature appearances by such A-listers as Tina Fey, Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Ellie Kemper, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Tituss Burgess, Jane Krakowski, Jon Hamm, and many more.
From the Facebook event page: "In these tumultuous times, we need our favorite actors, musicians, and comedians to do what they do best. Speak earnestly about politics? No! Entertain you for a great cause? Yes! Because when the Titanic sank, the band kept playing! Except in this case, the band will be raising money for something that can fix the boat. And Leonardo DiCaprio won’t have to die."
The event will be filmed in New York City and is being executive produced by Friend of a Friend Productions in collaboration with Funny or Die.
Side note, they are selling tickets for the event, they start at $1000 and escalate to $25,000. Can I borrow $1000 to be in the same room as Tom Hanks please?
"Our work in the courts is essential right now to hold off the worst of the abuses," said ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero. "But it is also the collective will and tireless actions of 'we the people' that serve as a bulwark against unconstitutional and wrong-headed policies and executive orders. By supporting our work through this telethon, we can fight even harder to defend the rights guaranteed by our Constitution."
Tune in on March 31. Donate to a great cause. Keep the band playing even as the Titanic sinks.
