The historic Stonewall Inn is seeking help to avoid permanent closure due to the COVID-19 crisis. Former President Barack Obama, Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Katy Perry and Cynthia Erivo participated in Pride Live’s Stoneway Day two-hour livestream to help raise funds to keep it open.

“Stonewall Inn has been such a symbol of rebellion in the face of oppression, and such a safe place for people,” Swift said. The bar has also set up a GoFundMe page, explaining, “Our doors have been closed for over three months to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of patrons, staff and the community… The Stonewall Inn faces an uncertain future and we are in need of community support. The road to recovery from the COVID 19 pandemic will be long and we need to continue to safeguard this vital piece of living history for the LGBTQ community.”

WABC’s Sam Champion will feature Stonewall throughout a virtual Pride program on Sunday that will include Janelle Monae and Carson Kressley.
