Ms. Rachel Matches Macklemore’s $1 Million Gaza Donation and Challenges Hollywood to Act

The children’s YouTube creator said the money will support humanitarian organizations serving Palestinians in Gaza, including the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

  • YouTube creator Rachel Accurso announced she will match Macklemore's $1 million donation to the Palestine Children Relief Fund, stating, "I invite every wealthy white celebrity to match it and speak out against the genocide in Gaza."
  • Last week, the "Thrift Shop" singer was fired from the Loop tour for supporting a Free Palestine; on September 16, Macklemore pledged to split his $1 million earnings among six organizations working with Palestinians.
  • Macklemore challenged Robert Kraft, owner of Gillette Stadium and the New England Patriots, to match the donation; Kraft later claimed Sheeran asked him to match a $2 million donation.
  • Rachel Accurso and her husband, Aron Accurso, cited a moral obligation to protect children, noting over 20,000 Palestinian children have been killed and continue to die daily.
  • Since Macklemore was fired, all of Sheeran's openers have quit the Loop tour, with artists withdrawing participation in response to the situation in Palestine.
