00:00YouTube star Miss Rachel is making headlines again, not just because season two of Miss

00:04Rachel began streaming on Netflix, but also because celebrities are joining her call to

00:08tag senators and sign a petition. Miss Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Accurso, launched her

00:14YouTube channel in 2019 to support her son's speech delay, creating music-driven videos that

00:19help toddlers build language and communication skills. The former preschool teacher reportedly

00:24skyrocketed into one of the most popular creators for kids under four. Her mix of slow and

00:29interactive speech lessons, sing-alongs, and parent-focused educational content earned her

00:35loyal following on social media, with parents trusting her not only for her engaging style,

00:40but also because she was a trained educator with real credentials. But last May, Accurso reportedly

00:46posted a video across her socials visibly crying due to the hate she had recently received.

00:51The bullying is so bad. It's so bad, but I can handle this. Reports state that backlash that led

00:59Miss Rachel to tears was due to the YouTube educator joining Save the Children, an international

01:04non-profit that supports children worldwide by providing aid and advocating for their health,

01:09education, and safety. At that time, critics accused Miss Rachel of bias and even anti-Semitism,

01:15while supporters praised her for using her platform to defend children. In response to backlash to the

01:21fundraiser, Accurso explained that she cares for all children, sees every child as her own,

01:26and believes helping children is simply a humane thing to do. Since then, Miss Rachel has continued

01:33to speak out as an advocate for the children affected in war zones, including her latest video

01:37posted this weekend that speaks directly to those in office. It doesn't matter if you're Democrat or

01:42Republican, this is about babies having formula. A few words to the Christian members of Congress,

01:48if you're not going to sign this, I would just like to know why, because Jesus is so clear that we

01:53need to feed the hungry. While the comments in her latest video seem to be more supportive of Miss

01:57Rachel and her cause, what really set the internet buzzy was seeing Billie Eilish's name. The Grammy

02:02winning singer-songwriter re-shared Miss Rachel's post to her own Instagram story and even joined the

02:08comments tagging lawmakers like Chuck Schumer, Adam Scheif, Cory Booker, and Jimmy Gomez. Other public

02:15figures are also joining the conversation. Chef Tom Zalek, SkinRice founder Elizabeth Brown,

02:20and independent artist Riley Hope have all backed Miss Rachel's message, and they're even tagging

02:26Taylor Swift, urging her to speak up too. Despite the headlines about backlash, Miss Rachel's advocacy

02:31is gaining traction, with fans and celebrities alike amplifying her message. Share your thoughts
