As seen on Facebook, the videos feature one-off collaborations between Miley and artistes like Joan Jett, Ariana Grande, Laura Jane Grace and Melanie Saftka. The videos are accompanied by an option to donate to Miley’s foundation.
In a statement, Miley said:
“Pointless judgment and its effects are unfortunately something that is way too common.”
“All humans have valid feelings and rights! I want to use my voice as a megaphone to young people everywhere and encourage human evolution.”
