Margo Price links with Mavis Staples and Adia Victoria on new song "Fight To Make It"
Margo Price has teamed up with Mavis Staples and Adia Victoria on new single "Fight To Make It", which will see all proceeds go to Noise For Now.
Last Friday (8 July) Price joined forces with Mavis Staples and Adia Victoria on "Fight To Make It", a new song that will see all proceeds donated to Noise For Now, a "national initiative that enables artists and entertainers to connect with and financially support grassroots organisations that work in the field of Reproductive Justice, including abortion access."
On Bandcamp, Price wrote of the song, "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 the highest maternal death rate than any other developed country. Black women in particular experience maternal mortality two to three times higher than that of 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 humans rights issue."
"When we stand together and sing together we are stronger," Price added. "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."
"Fight To Make It" marks Price and Victoria's second collaboration in the past year, after Price featured on her A Southern Gothic album track "You Was Born To Die" with Jason Isbell and Kyshona Armstrong.
