Bruce Springsteen, Margo Price, Jackson Browne and more will perform for TeachRock’s Stand With Teachers virtual holiday fundraising event. The webcast airs at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT on Monday, December 21.
Also set to perform are Eddie Vedder and Tom Morello with special appearances by Steve Buscemi, Bobby Cannavale, Whoopi Goldberg, Sammy Hagar, Melle Mel, Edward Norton, Vincent Pastore, Maureen Van Zandt and more. Springsteen’s E Street Band mate Steven Van Zandt founded TeachRock as the educationtional component to the guitarist and actor’s Rock and Roll Forever Foundation.
Van Zandt detailed Stand With Teachers in a statement. Read his words below:
Being an educator has never been easy, but 2020 posed greater challenges than any schools have ever faced. And, as usual, teachers rose to the occasion. When schools shut down overnight, teachers rallied and moved classes online. But that’s not all–like the essential workers they are, teachers continue to risk their health to serve students and families, be it to distribute tech to keep students connected, or meals to help families in need. Teachers are the plainclothes superheroes in our midst. They deserve to be heard and celebrated, and that’s why we’re going to Stand With Teachers on December 21st.
