Calling All Crows, a non-profit group focused on mobilizing music fans for feminist causes, rolled out three impactful projects during March to honor Women’s History Month. These initiatives aimed at celebrating women’s accomplishments and advocating for reproductive health and justice.
On March 19, 2024, a live-streamed was held in collaboration with the Resilient Sisterhood Project (RSP), an organization dedicated to educating and empowering women of African descent about reproductive health issues. This online broadcast, aired across Calling All Crows’ social media platforms, aimed to raise awareness about reproductive health disparities and promote justice and equality in healthcare access.
The Resilient Sisterhood Project is so excited to be partnering with Calling All Crows because of our shared commitment to justice and equality. And we want to thank Calling All Crows for their support of our mission to educate and empower women of African descent regarding their reproductive health and rights.

Continuing their month-long grind, Calling All Crows hosted their 16th Annual Benefit Concert on March 22, 2024, at the Somerville Theatre in Massachusetts. The sold-out event featured Chadwick Stokes of Dispatch and The Pintos, who showcased songs from his upcoming rock opera, 1972. The concert provided a platform for music lovers to come together in support of the organization’s mission.
Immediately following the 16th Annual Benefit Concert on March 23, Calling All Crows organized an in-person event at The Sinclair in Boston to unveil a new service project with Reproductive Equity Now. This initiative aims to boost access to reproductive care and raise awareness about reproductive health issues. The event included a training session on abortion advocacy, equipping volunteers with essential knowledge and skills to support reproductive rights in their communities.
They are an incredible organization that provides critical education on abortion advocacy and reproductive justice. Our service project with them will be a great way for our volunteers to get excited about advocating for reproductive rights in their own communities, and will make a tangible impact on supporting abortion care providers and letting local legislators know that their community desires reproductive health protection and care for all.
