about

My name is Justyn Withay. I live in Tuscaloosa, AL, where I volunteer as an escort at our abortion clinic, the West Alabama Women's Center. Being one of the three abortion clinics left in all of Alabama, the WAWC is protested daily by individuals and groups seeking to shame, harass, and divert patients from their appointments. One of the ways we escorts try to limit this unwanted noise is by playing music to drown it out. We put together a playlist of songs that aim to be positive, upbeat, and LOUD. On this recording, I covered two of my favorite tracks from this list.

All proceeds from this project will go to support the Yellowhammer Fund (yellowhammerfund.org). The YF provides financial and logistical support to people who are having trouble affording an abortion in Alabama, a state that is extremely hostile to it abortion seekers and providers. Patients have to navigate a morass of state fees, restrictions, and deliberate misinformation about the procedure and reproductive health as a whole. They have to endure waiting periods, to travel as much as 100 miles or more, and cross a line of protestors just to physically reach a facility.

The songs are intended to make the clinic environment as comfortable and welcoming as we can make it. They're meant to provide stability, relief, and to elevate the mood in an area that overwhelmingly looks on people who have abortions with scorn and judgment.

Please enjoy the music and support your local reproductive justice organization!
