Today, Bandcamp is waving their revenue share for Margo Price’s cover of Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me” and all proceeds from the purchase of the song will go to @noisefornow to support and fight for reproductive rights!
“You Don’t Own Me” by Leslie Gore:
Price began covering Lesley Gore‘s “You Don’t Own Me” during Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Tour in 2021 in response to those who are trying to take away a woman’s right to control what happens to her body.
Price will be donating the money from this song via Bandcamp to Noise for Now, a national initiative that enables artists and entertainers to connect with and financially support grassroots organizations that work in the field of Reproductive Justice, including abortion access.
“You Don’t Own Me” by Margo Price:
“I keep finding renewed meaning in the lyrics. During these times when some people confuse opinions with misinformation and censorship with free speech,” Price said in a statement. “Not only is “You Don’t Own Me” a song about women’s liberation, but it is an anthem for anyone who is being marginalized or abused by systems of power.”
