"If Lilith taught me anything, it taught me there is a great strength in coming together to lift each other up instead of tearing each other down. So I really hope this documentary inspires everyone to continue to try and create positive change in your communities, to keep lifting each other up, keep championing the causes you believe in with kindness and empathy because ultimately we're all in this together..."
"It's a gift for all of us to see [this film], but also I've grappled with being here tonight and around what to say about the present situation that we are all faced with, the stark contraction to the many advances we've made watching the insidious erosion of women's rights, of trans and queer rights, the muzzling of free speech."
"I know you're expecting a performance tonight, and I'm so grateful to all of you for coming, and I apologize if this is disappointing, but we have collectively decided not to perform but instead to stand in solidarity in support of free speech. Thank you for your understanding."
A concert tied to the Lilith Fair documentary premiere was canceled after scheduled performers and a surprise guest refused to perform in solidarity with free speech following Disney's suspension of a late-night host. The performers chose to stand down rather than provide a show, citing concerns about the erosion of rights and the muzzling of expression while urging communities to lift each other up and pursue positive change with kindness and empathy. The film Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery is distributed by ABC News Studios and is available on Disney+ and Hulu.
