  • 100% of net proceeds will go to charities supporting women and girls, including Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, the Center for Reproductive Rights, the National Women’s Law Center and Planned Parenthood.
  • Three special guests — Karen O, Stevie Nicks and Sarah McLachlan — were also announced as Rodrigo said she had dreamed of staging the all-women event for years.
