As announced Monday (April 6), the organization will have tables stationed at multiple stops on the rock group’s Everybody Scream trek, at which affiliates will sit and speak with interested concertgoers about Planned Parenthood’s life-saving reproductive care. A release stresses the urgency of the initiative amid President Donald Trump’s second term and his administration’s anti-choice policies.
“Planned Parenthood health centers are a lifeline for millions of people, and they are relentlessly attacked,” Welch said in a statement. “Having access to a trusted provider is essential and also the difference between life and death. In this moment of uncertainty for our rights, I’m proud to support Planned Parenthood and create space on my tour for them to connect people with the care and information they need.”
“Florence Welch has long used her platform to speak out for reproductive freedom and care, including bravely sharing her personal experience with pregnancy loss,” added Caren Spruch, national director of arts and entertainment for Planned Parenthood. “Her new album, Everybody Scream, is a powerful testament to the importance of ensuring everyone can make decisions about their own bodies.”
After a month-long break, the trek is set to pick back up on Wednesday (April 8) for a North American leg. The Planned Parenthood partnership will launch that same day, with the group kicking off the run at Target Center in Minneapolis.
The tour initially kicked off in February to support Everybody Scream, which dropped this past October. The project peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, adding to Welch’s career tally of eight entries on the chart.
Shortly ahead of the album’s release, Welch opened up for the first time about her own personal experience with life-saving reproductive healthcare. In 2023, she had emergency surgery after suffering an ectopic pregnancy that caused her to miscarry, losing a fallopian tube in the process.
“The closest I came to making life was the closest I came to death,” she told The Guardian last September. “And I felt like I had stepped through this door, and it was just full of women, screaming.”
Planned Parenthood has established partnerships with multiple artists beyond Welch. Last year, the organization presented Olivia Rodrigo with its Catalyst of Change award to honor how she raised money for abortion funds on the Guts World Tour through her Fund 4 Good. Also in 2025, Harry Styles, Megan Thee Stallion, Gracie Abrams, Stevie Nicks, Cyndi Lauper and numerous other artists signed a letter of support for Planned Parenthood in response to Trump enacting a number of policies restricting access to reproductive healthcare, slashing public health programs and removing legal protections for reproductive healthcare clinics.
