Overview
- Daisy Chain Fields posted a campaign video featuring Olivia Rodrigo that displays text saying nearly 30 Planned Parenthood health centers have closed since the 2025 law that cut funding.
- The law in question, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed in July 2025, is described in the coverage as having ended federal funding for Planned Parenthood and reduced federal Medicaid support, which campaigners say made services less affordable.
- Festival organizers followed the Rodrigo clip with additional short videos featuring Planned Parenthood leaders discussing effects on reproductive health services and public education.
- Rodrigo has an established record of support for Planned Parenthood, including receiving its Catalyst of Change Award in 2025, and she previously publicly rebuked the White House when her music was used in an immigration enforcement video.
- Campaigners aim to use the festival’s cultural platform to mobilize public opinion by linking funding changes to tangible care losses such as birth-control access, cancer screenings, and STI testing, which could increase pressure on policymakers and state Medicaid decisions.
