Projects

Benefit concerts

In 2017 and 2018, Noise For Now staged several benefit concerts, featuring the musical acts Grizzly Bear, St. Vincent, TV on the Radio, Bon Iver and Andrew Bird.[3][4]

NFN x Seeding Sovereignty Campaign

In 2020, Noise For Now launched a campaign designed to help mitigate the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on Indigenous communities in the United States, through the sale of masks and bandanas. The campaign enabled mask purchasers to simultaneously donate a mask to the Indigenous Impact Community Care Initiative, and a portion of the proceeds also went to the organization Seeding Sovereignty for the purposes of facilitating abortion access among Indigenous and undocumented people. Noise For Now worked with artists and musical acts such as Kim Gordon, Grizzly Bear, Fiona Apple and Cat Power to drive awareness and participation.[5][6][7]

1973 Pro Roe Poster and T-Shirt Campaign

Also in 2020, Noise For Now designed and sold posters and t-shirts commemorating the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.[8] Posters could be purchased with the signatures of musicians Karen O, Ad-Rock, Cyndi Lauper, Jenny Lewis, and others. Sales benefitted Planned Parenthood.[9]
