Ms. Rachel Matches Macklemore's $1M Aid Pledge for Palestinians
Children's entertainer Ms. Rachel has pledged $1 million USD to provide aid for Palestinians, matching a donation made by rapper Macklemore. This pledge follows Macklemore's exclusion from opening for singer Ed Sheeran's North American tour. Macklemore's withdrawal from the tour was reportedly due to remarks he made supporting Palestinian people. Supporting acts and Sheeran's backing band also withdrew from the tour after Macklemore was barred from performing.
