Shortly after the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Lizzo announced that she would donate $500,000 of her tour proceeds to Planned Parenthood. Joining her in this effort, Live Nation has agreed to match her efforts and bring the total donation to $1,000,000.
“The most important thing[s] [are] action and loud voices. Planned Parenthood, NNAF Abortion Funds and organizations like them will need funding to continue offering services to people who are most harmed by this ban,” the pop star tweeted.
Lizzo is also encouraging fans to support her efforts by signing the “Bans Off My Body” petition.
“Black women [and] women of color have historically had disproportionately less access to family planning resources— this is a great loss but not a new one,” she wrote.
“Go to lizzolovesyou.com to donate, sign the Bans Off My Body petition and sign up to volunteer and take action.”
As for the aforementioned Lizzo tour, it will kick off on September 23, 2022 at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida. From there, she’ll take her talents to New York, Boston, Philadelphia, St. Paul, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Nashville and several other cities. Check out the complete set of shows right here.
