Some of the nation's most beloved celebs -- from Tom Hanks to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler -- are joining in a Facebook Live telethon on March 31 for the American Civil Liberties Union.
A three-hour telethon called "Stand for Rights: A Benefit for the ACLU" will raise money for the organization, Varietyreports. It will also star Jon Hamm, Jane Krakowski, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Tituss Burgess, Padma Lakshmi, Uzo Aduba and Zosia Mamet.

"Our work in the courts is essential right now to hold off the worst of the abuses," ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero told Variety. "But it is also the collective will and tireless actions of ‘we the people’ that serve as a bulwark against unconstitutional and wrong-headed policies and executive orders."
"By supporting our work through this telethon, we can fight even harder to defend the rights guaranteed by our Constitution," he said.
Airing from NYC, the livestream will start at 7 p.m. ET on the Facebook pages for Stand for Rights 2017, the Huffington Postand Funny or Die.
