The Dixie Chicks have dropped "Dixie" from their name on all their social media pages and website. They will now be known as "The Chicks", and they've released a protest song called "March March". 

On their website they released this statement along with the new song, “We want to meet this moment.” In a press statement, they also added, “A sincere and heartfelt thank you goes out to ‘The Chicks’ of [New Zealand] for their gracious gesture in allowing us to share their name. We are honored to co-exist together in the world with these exceptionally talented sisters. Chicks Rock!”
