<\/div>\n

Pussy Riot<\/a> have released a new song, \u201cHangerz,\u201d with the help of Vic Mensa<\/a> and Junglepussy. The politically themed track was written after the band staged a sold-out live benefit show in Birmingham, Alabama, on July 11th to protest the anti-abortion legislation and centers on reproductive freedom for all women.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t like abortions? Don\u2019t make it,\u201d Pussy Riot\u2019s Nadya Tolokonnikova said in a statement. \u201cDon\u2019t tell me what to do, my body is nobody\u2019s business. It\u2019s a universal basic right of every human \u2014 to decide what do we do with our own bodies. Don\u2019t like abortions? Promote reproductive rights and join Planned Parenthood\u2019s effort in educating people on how to take good care of their reproductive health and to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cAbortion bans never work, throughout the history we see that abortion bans cause only a growth of illegal procedures that often lead to severe pain and serious damage to health women\u2019s health, including death. Stop banning and punishing me. Treat me as truly equal. Talk to me. Listen to me. Help me when I need it. Planned Parenthood and their affiliates are places where women can receive real support, and we, women of Pussy Riot, cherish these unique safe places dearly. And we\u2019re seriously dedicated to continuously support them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I saw Pussy Riot protesting inside of that church in Russia, I was immediately entranced,\u201d Mensa noted of his involvement with the band. \u201cIt\u2019s revolutionary, it\u2019s radical, it\u2019s explosive, it\u2019s what music should be in times like these.\u201d<\/p>\n

All proceeds from the release of \u201cHangerz\u201d will go directly to Planned Parenthood and $1 from each ticket sold on the band\u2019s 2020 tour<\/a> will go toward a local Planned Parenthood affiliate representing each tour market. The trek kicks off March 13th at 1720 LA in Los Angeles and includes stops in cities like Portland, Denver, Chicago, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Houston before wrapping April 15th at the Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix, Arizona. The band also has a May 19th date scheduled at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto.<\/p>\n

\u201cHangerz\u201d follows Pussy Riot\u2019s recent song \u201c1937,\u201d<\/a> released in September protesting local Moscow parliament elections and calling for the release of various political prisoners. In July, the group shared \u201cBlack Snow,\u201d<\/a> which took on Russian president Vladimir Putin\u2019s lax and destructive environmental policies.<\/p>\n
