“To date, our fans have raised $475,000.00 from the sale of our charity tickets at Alpine Valley and the United Center. We are donating that money to reproductive rights organizations in Wisconsin and Illinois,” it added.

Rage Against the Machine will perform on July 9 at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin, and on July 11 and 12 at the United Center in Chicago.

“Like the many women who have organized sophisticated railroads of resistance to challenge these attacks on our collective reproductive freedom, we must continue to resist,” the band wrote.

When asked if the Supreme Court was broken after signing the bipartisan gun bill on Saturday, President Biden said,

“I think the Supreme Court has made some awful decisions.”

Democrats have encouraged Biden to take executive action to defend abortion rights.

However, iexclusivenews Nigeria reports that two senators reiterated their comments on Saturday.

The president has previously stated that he is considering executive action, but it is unclear what form such action may take.
