CHICAGO — Cher will lead a rally for Hillary Clinton in Chicago this weekend.

Cher will help raise money for Clinton's campaign, and attendees will "come together to discuss the stakes of the upcoming election," according to a post on Facebook.

Tickets are available online and cost $125-$5,000 with perks depending on the ticket bought. The event will take place in the evening Sunday, but a definite time and location has not yet been set.

Cher, an outspoken critic of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, has hosted rallies for Clinton before. During an August rally in Massachusetts, she called Trump an "idiot" and helped raise more than $1 million for Clinton, according to the New York Times.

Chicago's LGBTQ community is campaigning hard for Clinton. On November 5, a group of Clinton supporters will meet at the Center on Halsted and catch a bus to Iowa, where they'll knock on doors to encourage voters to support their candidate.
