What backs it

Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields benefit festival in Irvine, California raised $20 million for women's health, workplace protections and legal rights. Ten million has been donated to ten nonprofit partners including the National Women's Law Center and Black Mamas Matter Alliance; Melinda French Gates pledged a further $10 million through Pivotal Ventures in a surprise appearance. The women-led lineup included Chappell Roan, Doechii and Bikini Kill.

Worth noting

Half the total is a donation already made; the other $10 million is a pledge announced at the show rather than money transferred.
