Olivia Rodrigois promoting safe sex and reproductive care.
The distribution comes after Missouri enforced its trigger ban on all abortions except to save the life of the pregnant person when Roe V. Wade was overturned in 2022, according toCenter for Reproductive Rights.
Rodrigo, 21, is also donating a portion of proceeds from each ticket sold for the Guts World Tour to her non profit,Fund 4 Good, as well as theNational Network of Abortion Funds.
“Its initiative is to raise awareness for certain groups that are championing women’s issues in America and all of the other territories I’m going to. I’m very excited, and I think it’s going to be a very fulfilling and hopefully productive experience,“Rodrigo told PEOPLEin October. “Lots of the money is going to abortion funds to help provide some resources to people who are in need of reproductive healthcare.”
Before she took the stage on Feb. 23 in Palm Springs, California for opening night, she marked the launch of her non profit with a video on social media.

“Before I pop onstage, I wanted to come on here and talk about something I’m really excited about,” she said in the Instagram Stories video, according toBillboard. “The Fund 4 Good works to support all women, girls and people seeking reproductive health freedom.”
“The fund will directly support community-based nonprofits that champion things like girls’ education, support reproductive rights and prevent gender-based violence,” continued the “Drivers License” singer, noting that Fund 4 Good tables with resources would be set up at every tour stop.
During herGlastonbury set in 2022, theSoursongstress took the stage with her guest starLily Allenand spoke out against the supreme court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade before performing Allen’s “F— You.”
“I’m devastated and terrified,” she told the crowd.
“So many women and so many girls are going to die because of this,” she said, according to theThe Guardian. “I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that at the end of the day, they truly don’t give a s— about freedom.”
“The song is for the justices: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you! We hate you,” she added.
