"Dressed in ethereal silk to take to the stage, Maggie Rogers was feeling charged-up too. "Supporting the ACLU feels like a natural extension of the things I care about-connection, creativity, and community," she said. "Especially in a moment where civil liberties feel fragile or under threat, I'm grateful to have the opportunity to lend my voice to this essential cause.""
""The ACLU and the work it does is more important than ever as we watch our democracy hang in the balance," she told Vogue, kitted out in Hearst's designs. "As artists, not only do we enjoy the First Amendment, but we make a living off of being able to speak truth to power. For me, it has always been a part of who I am and what I do.""
Maggie Rogers and Sheryl Crow performed at a Hearst-backed benefit supporting the ACLU, with Rogers explicitly framing support as aligned with connection, creativity, and community. Hearst partnered with female-founded Yola Mezcal and Ben & Jerry's, which provided an onsite ice cream truck and sundae station. Guests explored Raúl de Nieves' colorful glass installation "In the Light of Innocence" and enjoyed complimentary falafel sliders and chips from The Butcher's Daughter. Attendees including Grace Gummer and others wandered Pioneer Works' industrial halls and gathered at an outdoor bonfire for conversation and warmth. Organizers and participants emphasized hope and strengthening civil liberties for the coming years.
