On Friday, October 7th, Good Music in collaboration with NOISE FOR NOW, released their genre-spanning benefit compilation, Good Music To Ensure Safe Abortion Access To All. The comp featured previously unreleased recordings including never-before-heard new songs, covers, remixes, live versions, and unreleased demos and was available for only 24 hours via Bandcamp as part of the Bandcamp Fridays initiative. Sales of the album and t-shirt featuring the album’s Kim Gordon-created “Liberate Abortion” cover art, grossed over $230,000 with 100% of the net proceeds benefitting non-profit organizations working to provide abortion care access to all: Brigid Alliance – a referral-based service that provides travel, food, lodging, child care and other logistical support for people seeking abortions; and NOISE FOR NOW who are working with Abortion Care Network to support independent abortion clinics.
Covered by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, SPIN, Consequence, NME, The FADER, NYLON and many more, the fundraising compilation was available for $19.73 in honor of Roe v. Wade, though Bandcamp made it easy for supporters of the cause to contribute as much as they'd like. It featured songs from artists that include Amanda Shires x Jason Isbell, Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros, Cat Power, Daniel Rossen, David Byrne x Devo, Death Cab for Cutie, Fleet Foxes, Gia Margaret, Grouplove, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Mac DeMarco, Maya Hawke, Overcoats, Pearl Jam, PUP, The Regrettes, R.E.M., Sleater-Kinney, Soccer Mommy, Tegan and Sara, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down x Tune-Yards, Ty Segall, Wet Leg and more.
Supporters can also still pre-order the t-shirts featuring Kim Gordon’s artwork via NOISE FOR NOW: https://noisefornow.org/shop.
Good Music To Ensure Safe Abortion Access To All is produced by Brilliant Corners Artist Management, Dave Eggers, Like Management, NOISE FOR NOW, Panache Management, TMWRK and Q Prime. It is the latest fundraising project from the Good Music project whose Good Music to Avert the Collapse of American Democracy compilation series in 2020 raised over $600,000 for voting-rights organizations between its two installments.
Odile Schalit, Executive Director of The Brigid Alliance “Since the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, Americans are traveling longer and longer distances for an abortion. For people with limited resources, accessing abortion care can be all but impossible when you add up the costs of transportation, lodging, meals, and lost wages. The Brigid Alliance exists to help get people to an abortion provider – and back home again – no matter what it takes. The money raised through this benefit compilation will directly support our mission of making abortion borderless, burden free, and accessible to all.”
