Lokels Only, Vets Rise 4 Roe, The Royal Family & Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights LA are hosting a rally and benefit concert to raise funds for the RU4AR SoCal chapters (LA, OC, Long Beach & Inland Empire). We'd love everyone to attend our event, but feel free to donate here if you're unable to. We appreciate all your support in the fight for NATIONWIDE LEGAL ABORTION ON DEMAND & WITHOUT APOLOGY!
City Hall 4
On July 6th, in protest of the overturning of Roe v Wade, four brave activists chained themselves to LA City Hall. They poured a washable red paint mixture that signified blood down the steps in a creative and dramatic call to action! More than 50 LAPD officers were dispatched to the scene where all 4 women were arrested. At this time, charges have not been filed, but they have not been dropped either. The city has up to 1 year to file charges and attempt to prosecute these brave activists! WE MUST DEMAND THESE CHARGES ARE DROPPED.
LACMA 3
On July 28th, two brave activists, one of them a U.S. army vet, chained themselves to the "Urban Lights" art installation at LCMA while a third activist, a U.S. Navy vet, poured a washable red paint mixture that signified blood around and on the chained activists. The scene also displayed body bags, coat hangers, and die-ins as yet another creative and dramatic call to action! All 3 activists involved in this demonstration were arrested and charged with alleged felony vandalism. WE MUST DEMAND THESE CHARGES ARE DROPPED!
Riverside 8
On July 30th, 13 protestors rallied at the Riverside Historic Courthouse, where they wrote messages in chalk and put handprints in kid's green, washable paint on the outside walls of the structure. All the protestors were detained and 5 of them were released, while the other 8 were arrested and charged with alleged felony vandalism and conspiracy to commit a crime. WE MUST DEMAND THAT THESE CHARGES ARE DROPPED!
Non-violent civil disobedience is vital to this movement & we must get in the streets and stay in the streets to fight for our rights! There is no business as usual while a war is being waged against birthing people's bodies, especially women and young girls.
We must unite all who can be UNITED!
It is unconscionable NOT to act together in powerful resistance while a fundamental right of half of humanity is being ripped away. SILENCE IS COMPLICITY!
WE MUST ACT NOW!! WE WON’T GO BACK!!!

Laviticux
My name is Laviticux. I’m a local L.A. artist & activist originally from Atlanta, GA. I truly believe there is power within the people and the community. We can restore legal abortion nationwide & I hope that with my actions and with my music, we can awaken the masses and unite individuals from all different backgrounds, races, sexual orientations, etc.
Velvet Penny

Through her initiative she encourages folks to be educated, express themselves through art and find wellness practices that work for them in order to cultivate safer relationships. Her upcoming album 'All the Flowers' will be released alongside programming aligned with these themes." She is playing at Rage 4 Rights because she believes rallying together is a healthy way to release anger and to mobilize! Women deserve bodily autonomy and healthcare services that support their decisions.
Lani Ramos
I'm all Rock & Roll and everything ab me is real and true. I support the GFM and Rise Up because women's Rights are being overthrown again and every day is going to be a fight until the wrong is righted, again. We have been fighting for women's rights since 1838 if not beyond in my lifetime . I never thought I would see this day happen and I'm absolutely disgusted. So, as a woman I must rise up and support, and fight and use my voice and everything that I have power over within me to support a woman's right to choose, always and forever. If you break down women's rights then it topples over all the rest of the minority rights in the world.
LaHenny
I’m LaHenny & I'm a 22-year-old artist from San Bernardino. I just dropped my debut project on all platforms, and my goal is to be a widely known artist across the U.S and, sooner than later, the world. I’m doing this event because I strongly believe in “your body your choice,” not just for abortions but for everything else as well. I have a platform that people follow, so I definitely want to use it in a positive way to highlight basic human rights.

Yung Cross
I would like to say about myself as as an artist I want to share the vibe to the positivity of my talent towards others to inspire them that they’re not alone they do the same thing that I do on the type of person don’t want to encourage others to do good in their past to find their unique ability what best explains themselves of who they are and I just love helping others. I just love encouraging others and being there for others, giving them hope and a path of happiness and positivity.
Junior HG
My name is Junior HG ! From Pasadena California I’m doing this because everyone has a voice, but what’s the point of having it if it doesn’t get used? I do what I do to get heard and motivate others to use their voice as well in any way you can aside from music! Nothing but positivity on this side.
