Paramore share their “outrage” on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe V. Wade.
Paramore have announced they will be donating a portion of tour proceeds to fund vital reproductive care and services.
Earlier this year the U.S. Supreme Court took the shocking decision to overturn the 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, which secures women the fundamental right to have an abortion.
“We are outraged by the SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe V. Wade, ending the federal constitutional right to abortion, affecting millions across the country,” Paramore shared on social media.
The band stated they would be donating $1 of every ticket sold for their Toronto concert to Women’s Shelters Canada, an organisation that works with over 600 women’s shelters across Canada, supporting women and children fleeing violence.
“We look forward to supporting more causes on future tours,” Paramore signed off their post. “Thank you to those of you coming to these start-up dates.”
