The Russian collective Pussy Riot will perform a sold-out concert on Thursday in Alabama to raise money for women’s rights groups.
This concert comes in light of the state’s recent passing of a near-total ban on abortion, making it a felony even in cases of rape or incest.
Pussy Riot co-founder Nadya Tolokonnikova says she finds the ban ridiculous and wants to come to Alabama to support women who are in a critical and vulnerable position in the state right now.
