What is Rock for Choice?

Rock for Choice was founded by L7 in the fall of 1991 to mobilize the music community to protect abortion rights and women's health clinics. After meeting with the Feminist Majority, which heads the largest clinic access Project in the country, L7 organized the first Rock for Choice concert at the Palace in Los Angeles on October 21, 1991. This historic concert featured Nirvana, Hole and Sister Double Happiness.

Since then, Rock for Choice, now a full-time project of the Feminist Majority has gained enormous momentum with concerts organized in dozens of cities across the United States and Canada featuring popular artists such as Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Salt-N-Pepa, No Doubt, the Offspring, Fugazi, Liz Phair, Bikini Kill, Joan Osborne, Rage Against the Machine, the Foo Fighters, Sarah McLachlan, Rancid, Melissa Etheridge, the Bangles, Joan Jett, Stone Temple Pilots, Paula Cole, Iggy Pop and many others.

Rock for Choice raises critical resources to help fund the Feminist Majorityıs vigilant Campaign to Save Roe to raise public awareness about the impending threat to Roe and build the will among 41 pro-choice Senators to sustain a filibuster against an anti-choice nomination to the Supreme Court (visit Million4Roe.com to sign the petition). But as importantly, the project gives young adults an opportunity to fight back by encouraging them to get educated and active in the fight for reproductive rights and to register to vote.
