P!nk has always been one to speak her mind. Whether it\u2019s in her music or on Twitter\/X, the singer never backs down from what she believes in. Throughout her lengthy career, she\u2019s addressed current social and political moments, as she does in her songs \u201cWhat About Us\u201d and \u201cIrrelevant,\u201d for example. From criticizing politicians to even telling some fans to never listen to her music again, P!nk frequently uses her fame to speak out on issues she\u2019s passionate about. P!nk plans to hand out banned books at Florida shows While Florida continues to ban books, including Toni Morrison\u2019s \u2018Beloved,\u2019 pop singer P!nk announced a partnership with non-profit PEN America to distribute banned books. During upcoming shows in Miami and Sunrise, 2,000 books will be handed out to fans. The announcement was met with a flurry of conversation. \u201cI also applaud you for handing out the above banned books at your concert when you come here,\u201d applauded one fan. \u201cI\u2019ll be buying my books from them from now on. I\u2019m an avid reader. I LOVE Pink for doing this!\u201d proclaimed another. A third added, \u201cPink is a goddess. Amazingly talented. Not surprised that she\u2019s pushing back against stupidity since once you\u2019ve seen her perform, her courage is blatantly obvious!\u201d I live in IL. If @BooksandBooks provides online shopping and shipping, I’ll be buying my books from them from now on. I’m an avid reader. I LOVE Pink for doing this! \u2014 Blu Artiste\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a (@mjbjes) November 14, 2023 Pink is a goddess. Amazingly talented. Not surprised that she\u2019s pushing back against stupidity since once you\u2019ve seen her perform,her courage is blatantly obvious! \u2014 Zarkov\u2019s Ship (@EricStricker11) November 14, 2023 User Curt Milam went on to compare the superstar to country legend Dolly Parton. @Pink is this generation’s Dolly Parton. She is a great heart and a force for good! \u2014 Curt Milam (@curtmilam) November 13, 2023 In a statement, P!nk provided further insight into the initiative. \u201cIt\u2019s especially hateful to see authorities take aim at books about race and racism and against LGBTQ authors and those of color. We have made so many strides toward equality in this country and no one should want to see this progress reversed.\u201d P!nk is set to play Miami on November 14 and Sunrise on November 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
