Pop super-star Ariana Grande has donated the proceeds from her June 8 concert in Atlanta, Georgia, to Planned Parenthood.
According to multiple sources, the donation is for around $250,000.
In an interview, Planned Parenthood Action Fund President Dr. Leana Wen said:
“Ariana Grande’s generous donation comes at a critical time — in Georgia and across the country, anti-women’s health politicians are trying to ban all safe, legal abortion.”
“This is not what the American people want, nor is it something they’ll stand for,” Wen’s statement continued.

“Thanks to inspiring support like hers, Planned Parenthood can continue to fight back — in the courts, in Congress, in state houses, and in the streets — against these dangerous attacks on people’s health and lives. We are so grateful to Ariana for her longstanding commitment to supporting women’s rights and standing with Planned Parenthood to defend access to reproductive health care. We won’t stop fighting — no matter what.”
