Permanent Wave Benefit for Pussy Riot - featuring DJ Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys
FREE PUSSY RIOT! This is a benefit for their legal defense fund.
Three alleged members of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot, Maria Alekhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Ekaterina Samucevich, charged with “hooliganism,” have been remanded in jail. The three women are facing up to 7 years criminal punishment for allegedly participating in the punk-prayer “Virgin Mary, Send Putin Away” that publicly demonstrated for human rights and against the current oppressive regime under Putin. The case illustrates the gross level of violations against human rights in Russia and requires immediate attention. The detained activists now need the support of the world’s community.

Permanent Wave is a network of feminist artists and activists. We want to challenge gender inequality as it manifests itself in art, politics, and our personal lives, and we want you to join us. We believe that women should see each other as collaborators and inspirations, not rivals. We want to continue the feminist movement that began generations ago by creating a revolutionary arts movement that’s relevant to women, queer, and trans people today.
