The alternative rock band Wilco on Friday announced that it was reinstating an Indiana concert that had been canceled earlier in the week over concerns about the Hoosier State’s “religious freedom” law.

The band called proposed changes to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act that would clarify the law does not allow businesses to discriminate against anyone a “good first step” on Twitter:

“Parks and Recreation” star Nick Offerman also announced earlier this week that he’d canceled a comedy tour stop in Indiana to protest the law. It’s unclear whether Offerman will similarly reinstate the show given the proposed changes to the law.
