Coachella’s parent company, the Anschutz Corporation, has been found to have made a substantial donation to an anti-abortion group. According to reportage from Rolling Stone in partnership with Popular Information, the company’s recent tax filings to the IRS reveal a $75,000 donation in late June — just five days after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — to Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), a group centered partly around electing Attorney Generals who will enforce anti-abortion laws in their states.
Immediately after the Roe ruling and just days before the Anschutz Corporation made its donation, RAGA reportedly reached out to members asking for money, specifically to support its efforts in enforcing an abortion ban: “[E]very donation will help Republican Attorneys General combat the Democrats’ pro-abortion agenda and stand tall for life,” the message read in part, per Rolling Stone.
