On February 20th, Cate Blanchett joined a concert at Stonewall in support of the Newtown Action Alliance, a “grassroots organization founded by Newtown residents after the tragic December 14, 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting” with the aim of ending gun violence.
First, Cate appeared alongside Margeaux Powell (hair and makeup artist/DisarmHate founder Jason Hayes) for a performance of Adele’s “Hello.” Here’s the video:

Later, Cate showed up onstage in a Marlene Dietrich look and lip synched Dusty Springfield’s version of Leslie Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me.” Among the performers were Aurora Sexton, Vanice Vega, Candice Cox, Brenda Dharling, and Zola Powell. Chris Ryan, member of the cast of The Present, currently in NYC on Broadway, also took part in the event. Watch the video of Cate’s performance below:
