Event series announcement featuring MGMT, Tift Merritt, Lola Kirk, more in NYC, Nashville & New Orleans

NOISE FOR NOW and Abortion On Our Own Terms have announced a three-city benefit series taking place this fall in Nashville on September 22, New Orleans on September 27 and New York City on October 19, featuring musical performances, comedy and more. The event series will be in joyful defiance of the continued attacks on our liberty and reproductive rights and raise money for local abortion funds.

They will also serve to raise awareness around self-managed abortion and abortion pills, currently available by mail in all 50 states. Across the three cities, artists set to perform include a DJ set from MGMT, Lola Kirke, Ron Gallo, Annie DiRusso, Pom Pom Squad, Pell, A.J. Haynes (Seratones), Becca Mancari, and more.

The comedy section will include performances from Saya Meads, Joyelle Nicole Johnson, and others.

Tickets for NOISE FOR NOW monthly donors go on sale this Wednesday, August 13, at 10 AM local time. General on sale starts this Friday, August 15, at 10 AM local time. See below for ticket links to each event.

“We’re fed up with the interference in our personal healthcare decisions by politicians who know nothing about our lives,” notes Amelia Bauer, co-founder and executive director of NOISE FOR NOW. “When faced with this kind of oppression, it is more important than ever to come together in our communities to equip ourselves with resources, stand in joyful defiance, and affirm that WE SAVE US.”

“As we all seek ways to help, and also survive this political moment, here are three things we can do: Give money to abortion funds helping people access care, spread critical information on how to have an abortion no matter where someone lives or how much money they make, and find JOY in community,” adds Lorenne Gavish, Creative Media Manager of Abortion On  Our Own Terms.
