Lizzo posted on Instagram, June 24, her promise to donate following Roe V. Wade’s landmark decision that allowed a woman to legally have an abortion within the United States.
I pledge $500k to Planned Parenthood and Abortion Rights. Live Nation agreed to match—to make it 1 MILLION dollars,” she wrote. “The most important thing is action & loud voices.”
Lizzo said that she’ll donate to Planned Parenthood, National Network of Abortion Funds (and other organizations with similar missions) because “they will need funding to keep offering services to people most hurt by this ban.”
“Black women & women of color have historically had disproportionately less access to family planning resources,” she added, “This is a great loss but not a new one.”
Lizzo closed her post by encouraging fans to sign the Bans Off My Body petition or donate.
