Among the many celebrities who have been vocal about politics recently is Zedd, who previously threatened to leave the United States if Trump were elected. While has since opted to stay, Zedd has also decided that he is going to “stand up for what I believe is right.”
His first action has already been announced – a benefit concert for the ACLU called “Welcome.” Phase 1 of the show is scheduled for Monday, April 3, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and features performances from Skrillex, Incubus, Macklemore, Tinashe, Imagine Dragons, Daya, and Halsey. See his tweets below for more information.
as an immigrant myself I feel the need to stand up for what I believe is right.

i didn't wanna sit around and watch so I decided to take action and ask my friends to help me out and come together to put on a concert.

the MAIN THOUGHT is to get as many donations to the @ACLU as possible.

I asked artists to perform anywhere from 3 songs to 30mins … some artists will do acoustic sets, some will do unique collaborations.

I'm super thankful everyone was down to do this, with less than 24h notice- willing to fly in from wherever they are the day before.
