100 percent of the proceeds will benefit nonprofit organizations working to provide access to abortion services, including Brigid Alliance, a recommendation—based service that provides travel, food, accommodation, child care and other logistical support for people who want to have an abortion. , which works with the care network abortions to support independent abortion clinics.
“Good Music to Ensure Safe Access to Abortion for All” is the latest fundraiser for the Good Music Project after the 2020 charity collection “Good Music to Prevent the Collapse of American Democracy”, which also featured Byrne and Pearl Jam, as well as Phoenix, Fleet Fox., Jenny Lewis, The War on Drugs, the Little Dragon and the Big Boy.
Both collections raised more than $600,000 (523,689 pounds) for the voter rights organization Fair Fight.
The latest report comes after the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade earlier this year, which meant abortion would no longer be protected as a federal right in the U.S. for the first time since 1973, and each state would be able to make an individual decision on restricting or banning abortions.
