Written by SOURCE on December 18, 2019
Donald Glover is throwing his support behind Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
On Wednesday afternoon, Glover took to Instagram to announce a pop-up event hosted in collaboration with the Yang campaign. Glover, aka Childish Gambino, did not reveal many details about what was in store, simply confirming there would be a limited supply of collaborative merch with all proceeds going toward Yang’s campaign. Glover also made sure to note there would be no music.
Yang shared the announcement on Twitter, while also thanking Glover for his support.
The Donald Glover x Andrew Yang pop-up will go down at noon Thursday at 507 N. Fairfax Ave. in Los Angeles.
Hours after the event kicks off, Yang is expected to take the stage at Loyola Marymount University in LA for the last Democratic presidential primary debate of 2019. He will be joined by fellow candidates Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and billionaire businessman/philanthropist Tom Steyer.
Though Glover has not formally endorsed Yang, he joins a growing list of celebrities who have backed the 44-year-old entrepreneur. Yang, who is campaigning on a platform of universal basic income, has received donations from Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, investor Sam Altman, actors Nicolas Cage and Noah Centineo, as well as Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo, who performed at Yang’s November rally in Des Moines.
