Margo Price has collaborated with Mavis Staples and Adia Victoria on a new single entitled “Fight To Make It.” All proceeds from the Bandcamp sales will benefit Noise For Now – a national initiative that enables artists and entertainers the ability to financially support grassroots organizations that work in the field of reproductive justice.
“Fight To Make It” was written by Price and her longtime collaborator and husband, Jeremy Ivey. The track pairs Price and Victoria’s sweet vocals with the refined and robust range of Staples as the trio deliver their new number, which also functions as a female empowerment anthem in defiance of gender, race and class divides.
In regards to today’s release, Price offered: “Every day I see more of our rights stripped away in America. The right to reproductive health in this country has become a luxury for the wealthy. The United States has a higher maternal death rate than any other developed country. Black women in particular experience maternal mortality at a rate two to three times higher than white women. Tennessee now has stricter abortion laws than the Taliban. This should not be a political issue, or a religious issue, this is a human rights issue.”
She concluded, “When we stand together and sing together we are stronger. Massive thanks to my friend Adia Victoria for joining me and our mutual hero, the legendary Mavis Staples for adding the wisdom and strength of her voice. Her art and activism have long inspired me and I’m grateful for her contribution to the song.”
