Free & Just Announces “Artists for Abortion Access” Event Series to Spotlight Local Artists and Advocates Demanding Reproductive Freedom Across the Country
Free & Just to partner with artists in Georgia, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin
WASHINGTON, DC –– This fall, Free & Just is partnering with local artists, advocates, and leaders in communities across the country who are standing up to attacks on abortion access and reproductive freedom. From concerts featuring local musicians, to art markets where local creators can sell their goods, “Artists for Abortion Access” will spotlight local creatives and create space for real people impacted by abortion bans and ongoing attacks on reproductive freedom to share their stories.
“Artists for Abortion Access” comes as attacks on all types of reproductive health care, including abortion care, IVF treatment, and birth control, continue to escalate nationwide. Despite their rhetoric, anti-abortion extremists have made it painfully clear that they will stop at nothing to restrict our freedom to make decisions about our lives and families. With “Artists for Abortion Access,” Free & Just is setting the record straight and amplifying the experiences of people harmed by these attacks.
Free & Just will host “Artists for Abortion Access” events in the following cities:
Pittsburgh, PA – Gallery Opening on Thursday, October 10
New Orleans, LA – Art Market on Monday, October 14
Atlanta, GA – Mural Unveiling on Thursday, October 17
Dallas, TX – TBA Tuesday, October 22
Madison, WI – Live Music on Friday, October 25

“Extremist lawmakers plan to ban abortion nationwide and restrict access to reproductive health care even further, they just don’t want to admit it publicly because they know it’s dangerous and deeply unpopular with Americans,” said Veronica Ingham, Senior Campaigns Director for Free & Just. “It’s more important than ever to spotlight the real-life impacts of these attacks and Free & Just is excited to partner with extremely talented local artists and brave storytellers in communities across the country to highlight what is at stake for reproductive freedom right now.”
