CORN TELETHON COMING SEPTEMBER 4TH 2025
CORN TELETHON COMING SEPTEMBER 4TH 2025
FREE SPEECH IS FOR EVERYBODY.
Another 12-hour live-stream extravaganza hosted by Siri Dahl and friends.
Last year, we sounded the alarm. Those looming threats to free speech? They’ve officially arrived. So let’s have a telethon about it.
CORN TELETHON is back on September 4th, 2025 and this time it’s louder, weirder, and more defiant.
What started as a cheeky fundraiser to raise awareness has grown into a full-blown celebration of resistance, joy, and community in the face of attacks on free speech and accelerated authoritarianism.
The saying goes that sex workers have long been the canaries in the coal mine when it comes to free expression—but we’re not the only ones affected. Authors, comedians, artists, queer activists, and anyone who values creativity and privacy are now finding themselves in the same crosshairs. This year’s CORN TELETHON brings together this big, bold, beautifully unruly coalition to laugh, sing, and stand up for what matters.
As always, 100% of profits will go to SWOP (Sex Workers Outreach Project) and SWAID Vegas.
Again, you can expect a cheeky (but safe-for-work!) stream hosted by Siri and a rotating gang of comedians, musicians, writers, and mischief-makers. Think Jerry Lewis telethon meets USA Up All Night. Yes, it will be ridiculous while bringing attention to the diminishing state of free speech in this country.
So let’s raise money. Let’s raise awareness. And let’s raise some eyebrows while we’re at it. The threats are real—but so are we. And we’re throwing a party.
the goal
Lacking representation from elected officials brave enough to take these stands, we recruited the help of friends in the entertainment industry (both folks with backgrounds in porn and "mainstream" entertainers alike) to bring awareness to the dangerous issues while telling jokes, singing songs, offering giveaways, and having fun in the way the entertainers we grew up watching on screens grew up back in the television age.
With a healthy dollop of nostalgia, this event will entertain, inform, and raise funds for a great cause.
