Russian feminist art collective Pussy Riot announced their 2020 North American tour Tuesday, with some of the proceeds set to go to reproductive health organization Planned Parenthood.
Russian punk rock protest group Pussy Riot announced Tuesday that they will embark on a North American tour in 2020, with proceeds benefiting Planned Parenthood.
The feminist art collective debuted a new song titled"No More Wire Hangers" at a sold-out show in support of reproductive and sexual health care organization Planned Parenthood on July 11 in Birmingham, Alabama. The concert was organized to protest an anti-abortion law that had been recently passed in the state. The law has yet to be enacted, due to a legal challenge citing constitutional issues.
A 27-second promotional video accompanies the group's tour announcement. Tickets are on currently available on the band's website.Pussy Riot was founded in 2011 and quickly became known for their left-wing ideals and strong opposition to Russian President Vladimir Putin, often making unannounced guerilla-style performances in public while wearing brightly colored clothing and balaclava ski masks.
Founding members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina each spent 21 months behind bars for the incident. They were charged with"hooliganism" that was"motivated by religious hatred." Yekaterina Samutsevich, the third arrested member, was released in October 2012. The group's large and variable membership is mostly anonymous.
