Rage Against the Machine will push for artists and musicians to boycott Arizona because of its new and restrictive immigration law.
The politically outspoken rap-rock band's lead singer, Zach de la Rocha, plans to announce Wednesday (July 21) that proceeds from a concert in Los Angeles on Friday (July 23) will go to organizations fighting against Arizona's law.
De la Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello, singer-songwriter Conor Oberst and United Farm Workers co-founder Dolores Huerta will also throw their support behind Sound Strike, an artists' boycott of Arizona.
