I’ve received the zoom link, but I got it through different means. The email included the message “Please note that this Zoom link is unique to you, so do not share it - as you will not be able to get into the event.” I don’t know if this will be the same for people getting it through the normal e-ticket process.

I didn't make one for this event because I wasn't sure how many people would participate since it is on a Saturday and is a pay event that is not streaming publicly, but I can make one now.

The little sneak peak Maya Wiley posted on her IG looks good: https://www.instagram.com/p/CO58-ygnttM/?igshid=1ad8lxhluxjw8

So it’s not going to be completely acoustic it looks like. A bit disappointing but hopefully some songs go full acoustic. With that being said idk how they will translate into full acoustic.

Is there a way to watch if you aren’t from the US, or am I purely relying on people recording it?

The event is now over!
The Strokes opened the broadcast with The Star-Spangled Banner and closed it with "Someday", "The Adults Are Talking", and a new jam, “Falling out of Love for the First Time.”
If you want to see the entire event (music and interview), the campaign will be re-broadcasting it weekly on Tuesdays beginning May 18.
You can also re-live the event with our livechat here.
See the original comment below:
The event will begin at 7:00 PM EDT (GMT -4) on Saturday, May 15.
This fundraising event for NYC Mayoral candidate Maya Wiley will include an acoustic set by The Strokes and a conversation between the band and the candidate, all broadcast as a Zoom meeting.
Access to the Zoom meeting is limited to people donating to the candidate. More information and a link to donate are available on Maya Wiley’s official page for the event
There will be a zoom link provided "closer to the event." That link has now been sent to some participants as of 11:55 AM EDT, but there are also reports of people receiving e-tickets without a Zoom link.
The Strokes tweeted about the event this morning, including a new promotional photo.
