Lead by the lead vocalist for Rage Against the Machine, Zack de la Rocha, a group of musicians have decided to boycott Arizona in protest to the anti-immigrant law SB1070.
“Fans of our music, our stories, our films and our words can be pulled over and harassed every day because they are brown or black, or for the way they speak, or for the music they listen to,” declared de la Rocha in a Billboard Article about the boycott.
The Sound Strike, is the name of the campaign, which rolled out a Twitter account, and a website that shows that the group just started this week, and that so far they have a group of over 20 artists and growing. In the website they also invite other artists to join, and be part of this boycott against Arizona.
The boycotts against Arizona keep popping out. Artists like Pitbull, Wisin y Yandel, Jenny Rivera and Cypress Hill have announced cancelations of their shows, and with this unified effort, there could be more acts to fall as well.
