Had a blast at the Playing For Frances fundraiser event with Portugal. The Man and our whole team and extended family last night — all in support of Playing For Change Foundation and sweet Frances Changed My Life, who we all love and are working to find a cure for.

Always love being in a room full of people who care enough to do something. This was all very that!

Thank you to the band, to everyone in my world who donated, and to the incredible Dilly Gent for pulling off such a lovely opportunity to make a difference — not just for Frances, but for all kids and families navigating loving someone (or being someone) with a rare disease.

We love you, Frances!

We started partnering on advocacy stuff back in 2017 right as Woodstock was coming out, then activated dates on their 2018 summer tour, and I officially joined the team in 2019 to help build what would become PTM Foundation the following year.

This band really cares about people, and I’ve had the great pleasure of helping them raise and donate nearly $400,000 to the community since the start of the pandemic. This work, coupled with making music and trying to make the world safer for people, has been my solution to this time of prolonged grief and suffering in the world. It’s felt good to be able to do something that matters in the midst of it all.

Thank you to John, Zach, Eric, Zoe, Kyle, Jason and Rich for believing we could — and for making space for queer weirdos like me at your table. I love y’all.🖤
