sarah maclachlan.jpg[Lilith Fair organizer Sarah] McLachlan is quick to point out that during her tenure at Lilith’s helm
in the late ’90s, she wanted to ensure that equality and inclusion were a
big part of Lilith’s official mandate…

Recently ticket buyers discovered that a handful of anti-choice
organizations were among the charitable options. As soon as the Lilith
team was informed, various charities were dismissed from the running.

It isn’t the first time McLachlan has crossed paths with anti-choice
groups. “I remember a bunch of pro-lifers came to a press conference at a
past Lilith Fair stop and started giving me s-t about why I allowed
Planned Parenthood
tables and why they couldn’t get a table,” she
recalls. “I just said: it’s my festival and I believe in pro-choice.
