the ally coalition takes action for lgbtq equality

6TH ANNUAL TALENT SHOW

We $230,000 Raised for lgbtq youth

On December 12th, The Ally Coalition hosted the Sixth Annual Talent Show, celebrating the sixth year of The Ally Coalition fighting for LGBTQ equality.

Hosted by Rachel Antonoff, we are so fortunate to have the support of the amazing artists who came to fight for LGBTQ rights! This year’s event featured performances from musicians Andrew Dost, Bleachers, Dixie Chicks and Jason Isbell, with comedians Chris Laker, Jacqueline Novac, Mike Birbiglia, and Roy Wood Jr. Our surprise guests were Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, Dev Hynes of Blood Orange and Carly Rae Jepsen! 

We hope to continue our tradition of banding together to directly benefit organizations serving queer and trans youth. Thank you to our partners New Alternatives for LGBTQ Youth in New York City & The Door NYC for joining us on this special day!

feel the pride with TAC x MSFT

Feel the Pride is a global celebration that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. The community–powered experience brings together voices from the global LGBTQI+ community and transforms them into a dynamic tapestry of light and sound. Each unique soundscape is created using samples recorded by St. Vincent and generated directly by your messages. Once guests have experienced the installation, they have the opportunity to take action through signing up online to volunteer, learn more, or donate through LGBTQI+ activist organization GLAAD. The installation is powered by Microsoft AI.
