2020: an election eve concert
On the eve of the most important election of our lifetimes, Broadway favorites and other luminaries joined for a concert of solidarity, community, and renewal. Standing – and singing – with the NYCLU and the ACLU to protect one of our most essential democratic rights: the right to vote. In an inspiring evening filled with music and hope, on November 2nd 2020, we honored the legacies of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Rep. John Lewis and suffragists, along with other activists and citizens who have both fought for and protected American voting rights, especially as they remain under direct attack today.
