In a perfectly just world, this kind of concert wouldn’t be needed. But this is America in 2024, a systematic war against women’s bodily sovereignty has been raging and we’re fighting from behind.

That’s why the local Rock N’ Roe concerts for reproductive rights have become a running series and still remain necessary.

This latest one rocks and rallies to support S.W.A.N. of Central Florida, the local group of intrepid volunteer escorts who serve to protect clinic patients from the harassment and intimidation of hostile abortion protesters who care more about the idea of potential life than the plight of the actual living.

Performing in support and solidarity will be local bands Default Friends, Paperback Romance, Earf Day, Stiletto, Holly Pocket and Preying Mantease. The best, most impactful way to begin changing the world is to start local, and everyone involved here is doing just that. Join them.

7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13, Will’s Pub, $10-$15 donation.
