In the 1990s, Madonna was among the first mainstream artists to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic, raising awareness and funds for research. Her commitment to LGBTQ+ rights has been evident, notably during her 2012 MDNA Tour in Russia, where she spoke against the arrest of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot and criticized the country’s anti-gay laws. This advocacy led to threats of legal action and fines from Russian authorities.
Politically, Madonna has consistently supported Democratic candidates. In the 2016 U.S. presidential election, she endorsed Hillary Clinton and performed a surprise concert in New York to rally support. Following Donald Trump’s victory, she delivered a passionate speech at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., expressing her discontent with the election results.
In the 2024 election, Madonna endorsed Kamala Harris for president. After Trump’s re-election, she voiced her disappointment on social media, sharing an image of a cake with an expletive directed at Trump and questioning the decision to elect a “convicted felon, rapist, bigot” as leader.
