Kumail Nanjiani
The star of “Silicon Valley” and “The Big Sick” started his career with a video game-themed podcast called “The Indoor Kids,” which was initially co-hosted with Ali Baker until Nanjiani’s wife took over the co-hosting duties. Nanjiani has been outspoken against President Trump, especially after a pair of Trump supporters allegedly accosted him at a bar shortly after the election. In his discussion of the incident on Twitter, he wrote, “Many ppl are like ‘just cuz I voted for Trump doesn’t mean I’m racist/sexist.’ Okay, but at best, you ignored it, you overlooked it.”
Lady Gaga
The popstar who many may know best for her tendency toward bizarre outfits (she once wore a dress made entirely of meat) is one of the best-selling music artists in history. On her path to winning six Grammy Awards, she’s sold over 27 million albums and 150 million singles. Gaga has been active in many different charitable and political causes. This includes a $1 dollar donation to the American Red Cross after Hurricane Sandy, work with “Artists Against Fracking,” and work with her own Born This Way Foundation, based on her song with the same name. She has also been active in LGBT causes and strongly supported former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in her 2016 candidacy.
Lauren Jauregi
This young singer got her start on the second season of “The X Factor,” which led to her becoming a member of the group Fifth Harmony. While the group reached modest success, she has also branched out into solo work with several singles and collaborations with various artists. Jauregui wrote an open letter opposing President Trump’s travel ban on immigrants from certain countries in 2017, saying, “We need to come together and let this administration know that we are not going to stand for another Nazi Germany or Stalin Russia or Mao Zedong China.”
