"The Anschutz Corporation donated $125,000 to the Republican Governors Association, an organization that helps elect Republicans to governorships throughout the nation, and $100,000 to the Republican Attorneys General Association."
"The corporation also donated $250,000 to the Senate Leadership Fund, a Super PAC devoted to maintaining Republican control of the Senate, on April 3; and $375,000 to the Congressional Leadership Fund."
"Philip Anschutz said he 'immediately ceased all contributions' to anti-LGBTQ+ organizations, and claimed that he 'unequivocally' supports LGBTQ+ rights."
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival sold out quickly and features LGBTQ+-allied performers. However, its profits benefit the Anschutz Corporation, which has made substantial donations to anti-LGBTQ+, anti-abortion, and anti-immigrant Republican politicians. Recent donations include $125,000 to the Republican Governors Association and $250,000 to the Senate Leadership Fund. Despite claims of ceasing contributions to anti-LGBTQ+ organizations, the corporation's financial support for Republican causes raises concerns among festival attendees and LGBTQ+ advocates.
