Edward Norton Announces Another Opportunity For You To Meet Radiohead
Edward Norton hosted a contest back in 2016, the winner of which was granted an opportunity to meet Radiohead and attend their concert at Madison Square Garden with him. Norton allowed the lucky winner to bring a guest, and the couple that nabbed the prize were animators for Cartoon Network. They met Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and gave them some drawings to share with their children.
Today, Norton announced another contest. Like last time, the winner and a friend will attend Radiohead’s upcoming MSG show with Norton and will have the opportunity to meet the band after the show. To qualify, hopefuls must make a donation to the ACLU here. Every $10 donated gives you a chance to win.
Norton shared some words via Twitter about his decision to make this a benefit for the ACLU. Read below.

or from Jesus' admonition that 'as you do unto the least among you, you do unto me'…these draconian cruelties do violence to America's values, Christian values, humanitarian values & and erode our claim to being the 'land of the free'. We're the most powerful & richest nation..

Marine Captain & Vietnam combat vet, my uncle commanded a Navy submarine & my cousin flew helicopters for the Army for 20 years. Terrible cruelty justified by Trumped up snowflake fears & rank hypocrisy don't reflect the values of the country they served & risked to defend, IMHO

We need collective, bipartisan will to put an end to it & rectify this situation fast. @ACLU is playing a leading role in that effort, so I'm trying to help & hope you'll join me in supporting them. And maybe come see one of the greatest bands ever with me as my 'thank you'!
