RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Donates $475,000 To Reproductive Rights Organizations After Roe V. Wade Repeal

The Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 ruling Roe v. Wade on June 24. The ruling protected the right to have an abortion across the country, which is now a right left up to each individual state. Rage Against The Machine, like many many other people across the country, are extremely unhappy about this. The band has taken to Instagram to blast the Supreme Court's decision and make known that they've donated $475,000 from recent ticket sales to reproductive rights organizations in both Wisconsin and Illinois.

"We are disgusted by the repeal of Roe V. Wade and the devastating impact it will have on tens of millions of people. Over half of the country (26 states) is likely to ban or seriously restrict abortion very soon, if not immediately, which will have a disproportionate impact on poor, working class and undocumented BIPOC communities.

"To date, our fans have raised $475,000.00 from the sale of our charity tickets at Alpine Valley and the United Center. We are donating that money to reproductive rights organizations in Wisconsin and Illinois. Like the many women who have organized sophisticated railroads of resistance to challenge these attacks on our collective reproductive freedom, we must continue to resist."
