Coachella Parent Donates Big To Support Abortion Bans

Several days later, on June 29, according to a filing submitted to the IRS in July, the Anschutz Corporation — a massive holding company that famously owns the live music giant AEG Presents, the parent company of several major festivals, including Coachella — made a donation of $75,000 to RAGA.

The money from Anschutz Corporation comes as RAGA gears up for election season with the aim of installing Attorneys General who will enforce and champion anti-abortion laws in key states where abortion rights remain in limbo, such as Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Ohio, and Florida.

Company founder and CEO Philip F. Anschutz tells the outlet that he personally supports abortion rights.

In 2018, it was reported that the Anshutz Foundation had made six-figure donations to two anti-LGBT hate groups, the Alliance Defending Freedom and the Family Research Council.

Anschutz says reports that he is personally anti-gay are “fake news and garbage.” Anschutz is reportedly worth over $12 billion.
