Discouraged. Outraged. Frightened. Angry. Unheard.

These are the words I kept hearing from my friends, family, and fellow Joy Thieves as they described how they were feeling in the days following the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe vs. Wade earlier this year. And while it can certainly be hard to know what to do with feelings like those, The Joy Thieves did what we ALWAYS do: we created.

And while it felt extremely satisfying to be able to express some of the resentment and anger we are feeling about this tragic injustice….we also quickly realized that recording and releasing a few songs simply wasn’t going to be enough. Not this time.

Now, more than ever, pro-choice organizations need MONEY to keep operating. This is exactly why The Joy Thieves will be donating 100% of the money raised from the sale of the ‘6 To 3’ EP, and its accompanying line of exclusive t-shirts and hoodies to the National Network of Abortion Funds. It is a real-world way that we can offer some assistance.

Friends, it is no coincidence that today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The Joy Thieves chose to release ‘6 To 3’ on this day in particular, because we truly believe that any political attempt to restrict medical care for women IS an act of violence. If you agree that all women should have complete control over their own medical decisions, including the right to determine whether, when, and how to create a family…help us raise some much-needed money for an organization that is built for EXACTLY that purpose.
