YouTube personality and educator Ms Rachel said she is matching rapper Macklemore's $1 million donation to organizations supporting Palestinians, according to The Guardian. Ms Rachel described the contribution as a "moral obligation" and called on other wealthy white celebrities to make similar donations.
The matching pledge comes as Macklemore announced his own $1 million commitment to Palestinian aid organizations. Ms Rachel's call for other public figures to donate reflects growing pressure on celebrities to take financial stands on the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
