Waxahatchee and Kevin Morby have collaborated on Bandcamp-exclusive covers of Broadcast and Guided by Voices to benefit the reproductive rights organization Vote No Kansas. The PAC’s mission is to prevent House Bill 2746 from passing. Dubbed “Value Them Both,” the amendment would allow the legislature to completely ban abortions. The Kansas residents are passionate about raising money for the organization and ensuring that local voters understand the stakes of the upcoming election.
All proceeds from “Tears in the Typing Pool” and “Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory” will directly support Vote No Kansas.
“With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the state of Kansas, where we live, has become a really important haven for bordering states in the fight for access to reproductive healthcare,” the couple says in a statement. “There’s an amendment to the state constitution in the upcoming election that would put abortion rights at risk. We’re asking Kansas folks to vote no on this amendment in the August 2nd election and we’re supporting Vote No Kansas, an amazing local organization raising awareness about this issue. We record covers on a 4-track at home from time to time, so we’re releasing 2 of those today on Bandcamp. It’s a sliding scale starting at $5 and all funds raised will go directly to Vote No Kansas.”
