There’s a dumpster fire in the White House, and it’s been spreading across the country. The South has been hit hardest, with government leaders passing aggressive anti-abortion laws with the potential to spur legal battles that could go all the way to a conservative-led SCOTUS and challenge Roe v. Wade. It’s a dire time. Fundraisers like this one, to benefit the Yellowhammer Fund (a reproductive justice organization that provides aid to those seeking care at one of Alabama's three abortion clinics as well as helping with other barriers to access) have never felt more urgent and necessary. Leading the bill is Breaks and Swells, who craft a peppy fusion of horn-escorted R&B, neo soul, disco pop, vintage rock, and funky fresh jazz as driven by the cotton-candy lead belts of Marquetta Miller. Claire George, La Fonda, Motus, and Wolfchild are also performing. by Leilani Polk
