About the 2024 Show

No Matter What … We Sing Out for Freedom is the 2024 theme of the NYCLU and ACLU’s annual concert and community event. Taking place just one week before Election Day, we’ll rally for the fights ahead, no matter what happens at the ballot box. We’ll also make a final — spectacular — push to vote YES on Prop 1, enshrining abortion rights and other crucial freedoms in New York’s Constitution.
