Ground Control Touring and NOISE FOR NOW are pleased to announce that we have teamed again up to take action, bring awareness and have some fun with our second annual Abortion Access Benefit Series. The series has expanded to take over FIVE cities, converging on Saturday, January 20th, 2024 – Los Angeles at Lodge Room, New York City at Bowery Ballroom, Chicago at Empty Bottle, Philadelphia at Johnny Brenda’s, and Nashville at DRKMTTR.
Each event will feature a special night of music and festivities in support of abortion funds, community, and bodily autonomy. 100% of proceeds will go to NOISE FOR NOW who will then allocate the funds raised to local independent abortion clinics and abortion funds in each region.

BIGGER THAN ROE 2024 – PROTEST THE CRYSTAL LAKE CPC
2024-01-20 12:00 - 13:00
On January 20th, days before the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, feminists all across the USA will be marching and protesting … to shore up our forces and take on the work ahead in the fight for reproductive freedom. A giant national march is planned for Madison, Wisconsin, and there will be events all over. Visit womensmarch.com, watch this great video, and get plugged into womensmarch.com here.
Here in McHenry County, please join McHenry County NOW and McHenry County Citizens for Choice, as we protest near “Informed Choices”, one of the many fake clinics (“crisis pregnancy centers”) that plague us.
Date and time: Noon to 1:00 pm on Saturday January 20th
Join us in person at 610 Crystal Point Road, Crystal Lake
(by the emissions testing place, southeast of Main Street & NW Hwy (Rte 14)
(we’ll have signs, or bring your own)
Or watch the livestream on Facebook or YouTube.
As Women’s March writes: “This January, we will unite to send an unequivocal message: Our resolve is unyielding. Our movement is not just about Roe; it is about safeguarding the rights and freedoms for all, now and for future generations. We are the majority, and our voices will be heard.
“On the weekend of January 19-21, 2024, we’ll be mobilizing in all 50 states with priority on the nine states where abortion rights will be directly on the ballot. These mobilizations are a strategic intervention to galvanize voters for the 2024 elections. We’re showing up to secure abortion access and counter far-right extremism. Join us in the state-by-state battle to defend our rights shape our future.”
