Can’t Cancel Pride is a movement that is steady and powerful within the LGBTQ+ community. The organizations impact of raising more than $14M since 2020 will successfully be able to fund the six organizations they have partnered with by offering the LGBT+ community resources and services that are both life-affirming and life-saving. These six organizations include funding for CenterLink, GLAAD, National Black Justice Collective, Outright International, The Trevor Project, and SAGE.
Cant Cancel Pride was founded in 2020 with the intention of supporting the LGBTQ+ community in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Around the world, Pride celebrations were called off, which decreased community visibility and fundraising efforts for important LGBTQ+ organizations. In order to support these six LGBTQ+ organizations, P&G and iHeartRadio collaborated to produce an hour-long benefit streaming program that included messages and remote performances by various musicians.
Can’t Cancel Pride is back for a fifth year running, continuing to honor the influence of music as a uniting factor that can push society toward more equality and acceptance for everyone. The event will continue to provide funding and attention for important LGBQ+ organizations by hosting some of today’s hottest musicians and appearances from influential voices in the LGBTQ+ community.
This years show features performances by Allison Russell, Ben Platt, David Archuleta, Meghan Trainor, Orville Peck, Raye, Victoria Monet, and many more.
In addition, the organization is a proud partner with the Elton John AIDS Foundation, introducing the Elton John Impact Award. Every year, as part of Can’t Cancel Pride, the Elton John Impact Award is awarded to LGBTQ+ individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the advancement of equality for LGBT+ culture.
Streaming June 12 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on iHeartRadio’s Facebook and YouTube pages, Hulu, Revry, and Advocate Channel. Will be available to stream throughout Pride Month until Friday, June 30.
