Lizzo knows her platform comes with a certain responsibility. In an interview with Zane Lowe, the pop star spoke about her philosophy and conviction as an activist, specifically referencing the urgency of organizing in light of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
“When Roe v. Wade got overturned, I quickly had to turn Lizzolovesyou.com into a fundraising for abortion funds and for Planned Parenthood. So that’s why when you go to the website, it’s very actionary because we were already doing that for Juneteenth,” the singer said, referring to the annual Juneteenth give-back program that she facilitates. Her website functions essentially as a landing page for various organizations and nonprofits to donate to, an effort she started in the wake of George Floyd’s murder in 2020 to find ways to support Black communities.
