Freedom United Concert January 20, 2017
Wouldn't it be awesome to have a concert and telethon to raise funds for various progressive causes? It would air starting early on January 20th to compete directly with the inauguration.
I envision a televised and streaming on the internet "Freedom United Concert" with YUGE celebrities like: Beyoncé & Jay Z, Madonna, Katy Perry, Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Justin Timberlake, The Dixie Chicks, Neil Young, Lady Gaga, The Cast of Hamilton, The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, The Harlem Gospel Choir and many others.
The proceeds of the concert could be designated to a number of causes including the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, Lambda Legal, ADL, NAACP, CAIR, IRAP, SPLC, Environmental Defense Fund and many other organizations. Donors could call in or go online to donate and could choose which organizations they want to support.
It would be great if Alec Baldwin could co-host the event as himself or maybe even portray Donald Trump as he does on SNL. Other possible co-host: Rosie, Trevor Noah, Ellen, Tina Fey, Samantha Bee and many others.
Please help us get the word out to other supporters by sharing this petition.
