Mark Ruffalo, Mandy Patinkin, and more joined the 'Kamala-Con' #Heroes4Harris livestream to speak with 'real-life superheroes' on Sunday.
to the election and two days before the first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, actors who portrayed fictional superheroes including, and more luminaries shared their true stories alongside the fictionalized heroes’ journeys and how this relates to the American story, a shared interconnectedness, and what’s at stake from the lens of the Democratic side as they fundraise for the Harris-Walz campaign. The event raised more than $40,000.
Some stories were uplifting even if they didn’t have a fairytale-style movie ending, like Montevallo, Alabama’s Joyce Jones, who ran for mayor in 2020, was subsequently attacked on social media by a conservative coalition, and lost by 48 votes. Meanwhile, Gonell shared his harrowing experience on Jan. 6 and its aftermath.
While no one sugarcoated the livestream’s sentiment that Trump is a threat to democracy, there was some levity amid the urgency. As Ruffalo encouraged everyone to Hulk-smash the donation button, discussed climate justice, and recited a hopeful quote from playwright Howard Zinn, he also took a humorous swipe at Elon Musk. “Elon Musk is such a two-faced turncoat traitor because he was a climate champion and he sold himself out for a buck and some power. Don’t follow that guy.
He also treated those tuned in to a song. “This is a song that I love singing because it was written by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg, and it was to honor their immigrant parents who came to this country for a new beginning,” he explained before launching into a moving rendition of “Over the Rainbow” in English and Yiddish.
