OUR HISTORY

NOISE FOR NOW began in 2017 with the inaugural benefit concert at the Santa Fe Opera. Proceeds from this concert went to the Santa Fe NOW Action Network, which distributes grants to clinics, abortions funds, and reproductive health education programs in New Mexico. On the heels of that successful event, NOISE FOR NOW was formed as a non-profit organization dedicated to organizing benefit concerts across the country. Musicians that routinely travel through areas that are most adversely affected by anti-choice legislation can now support the heroes on the ground that fight for and provide access to health care and abortion everyday. When nationally recognized musicians support local organizations on the ground, it has a powerful and motivating impact on those organizations and their community.

NOISE FOR NOW has worked with 600 artists and entertainers to raise $1,692,000 for 74 organizations working in the field of Reproductive Justice across the country.
