Like Ritter, many concertgoers did not initially believe they could get the pill, which retails for up to $50, for free. “There are always some people who reach for the emergency contraception and then say: ‘What do I have to do in order to get this?’ or ‘Is it really free?’” Sheley said. “You might have to repeat that it’s free three times. The look on their face when they realize they’re being cared for and someone wants to help, that’s what we’re here for.”
This fucking rules
This is extremely cool, but it's also very important to note that Rodrigo is partnering with local abortion funds to do this, and they're the ones actually providing the Plan B. A lot of funds actually provide free Plan B along with condoms and pregnancy tests all the time, either through local community partners (coffee shops, bookstores, nonprofits) or by mail. It's important to talk about the orgs she's partnering with (a) so that local folks know where to go the next time they need Plan B and can't afford it and (b) so that these orgs can continue to grow their supporter and donor base! Abortion funds have been run absolutely ragged since the fall of Roe and are in desperate need of more recurring donors to support their work.
