Children's show host Ms. Rachel, also known as Rachel Accurso, has announced that she will be matching Macklemore's $1 million donation to support Palestine. In a recent Instagram post, Accurso challenged "every wealthy white celebrity" to join her in matching the donation and speaking out against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Accurso, who is an ambassador for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), stated that she is donating to the organization in order to protect children and uphold human rights.
Macklemore had previously announced that he would be donating his entire $1 million in earnings from opening for Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to organizations supporting Palestine. He also called upon Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft to match his donation. Kraft responded by pledging $2 million to aid Gaza's "humanitarian crisis," matching Sheeran's own $2 million commitment.
Accurso emphasized that this act is a "moral obligation" due to the large number of Palestinian children who have been killed in the conflict.
