“No hate, but give your money away, shawties,” she added, calling for a more empathetic country. Later that night, Stephen Colbert announced Eilish will donate $11.5 million from her upcoming tour to causes fighting food insecurity and climate change. Should more public figures take the initiative to lead by example? Do you think billionaires need to make better contributions to society? Or has the wealth gap grown too large, and if so, what do you attribute that to? #BillieEilish #Philanthropy #WealthInequality #ClimateAction #FoodInsecurity #Billionaires #StephenColbert #SocialImpact #Leadership | Veronica De La Cruz
