Join us on October 24th 2022 for 20 Years of Sing Out for Freedom, the ACLU and NYCLU’s Annual Benefit Concert, hosted by Busy Philipps and honoring Padma Lakshmi. For 20 years, this concert has celebrated and raised funding for the work of the NYCLU and ACLU with the help of some of Broadway’s biggest stars.
This 20th edition will honor three women for their activism in civil liberties, and their tireless efforts in working for a more equitable future for all. These honorees include: Emmy-nominated food expert, television host, executive producer, and The New York Times best-selling author, Padma Lakshmi (Taste the Nation, Top Chef, and Tomatoes for Neela); singer, composer, and musician Shaina Taub, who will receive The Michael Friedman Freedom Award; and Rock N’ Roll Hall of Famer, National Book Award-winning author, poet, and music icon Patti Smith. Actor, activist, New York Times best-selling author, and star of the Peacock original, Girls5Eva, Busy Philipps, will host the festivities.
