Margo Price teamed up with Mavis Staples and Adia Victoria on the new single “Fight To Make It.” Proceeds from Bandcamp sales of the track will go towards Noise For Now, an initiative that helps fund grassroots reproductive justice organizations.
Noise For Now has connected with more than 280 artists and entertainers to raise over $675,000 for 42 reproductive justice organizations. Margo’s single featuring Staples and Victoria arrives two weeks to the day after the Supreme Court overturned Roe Vs. Wade.

Musicians React To Supreme Court Overturning ‘Roe Vs. Wade’
Musicians both on-stage and off reacted to the Supreme Court’s decision on Friday overturning ‘Roe Vs. Wade.’
Price wrote the following about the song and the battle for reproductive rights:
“Every day I see more of our rights stripped away in America. The right to reproductive health in this country has become a luxury for the wealthy. The United States has a higher maternal death rate than any other developed country. Black women in particular experience maternal mortality at a rate two to three times higher than white women. Tennessee now has stricter abortion laws than the Taliban. This should not be a political issue, or a religious issue, this is a human rights issue.
When we stand together and sing together we are stronger. Massive thanks to my friend Adia Victoria for joining me and our mutual hero, the legendary Mavis Staples for adding the wisdom and strength of her voice. Her art and activism have long inspired me and I’m grateful for her contribution to the song.”
