HANDS OFF OUR BODIES.
HANDS OFF OUR CITY.
My Body My Festival is part music festival, part DC love fest.
As a current haven for abortion access, DC is loud-and-proud about abortion. But while our neighbors rally around the right to bodily autonomy, we know that abortion access is never safe without DC statehood. When DC Home Rule is threatened, we are threatened—as are the thousands of people who travel to DC to receive abortion care each year.
Abortion is legal at every stage of pregnancy.
Zero parental consent laws.
All-trimester clinics.
The highest-caliber health care.
Give-the-shirt-off-your-back neighbors ready to spread abortion access.
HOW ABORTION ACCESS
TOOK CENTER STAGE.
Rock for Choice was the first pro-abortion rights concert in the U.S., led by Nirvana, Hole, L7, and Sister Double Happiness. In 1991, in the wake of mounting abortion clinic bombings by domestic terrorists across the U.S., musicians united to speak out on feminist issues.
Immediately following the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022, DC-local jazz artist Alex Hamburger immediately held a for-cause concert at St. Vincent Wine Bar. The very next year, she scaled the event to a one-day festival at the Pie Shop on H Street, and now, we’re teaming up to make this shindig even bigger. In 2024—with abortion on the ballot and access continuously being threatened—we’re expanding My Body My Festival into a three-day celebration for bodily autonomy.
