Zach de la Rocha of Rage Against The Machine has endorsed a benefit line of clothing

Author Benedetta Baldin - 21.6.2025

The frontman of the politically vocal Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band Rage Against the Machine, Zack de la Rocha, has openly voiced his opposition to the recent immigration raids carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Los Angeles, California, area. U.S. President Donald Trump controversially ordered the National Guard and U.S. Marines to put an end to any resistance after the operations sparked a number of protests. The aforementioned recluse vocalist just started promoting a Born x Raised charitable shirt/hoodie. His Rage Against the Machine bandmate Tom Morello held a fundraising event earlier this week for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, which will get 100% of the shirt’s sales.

“THIS IS LOS ANGELES. IN LA WE FIGHT ALONGSIDE OUR UNDOCUMENTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
IT’S LIKE THE OLD SCHOOL USED TO SAY “CON SAFOS” — IT’S JUST THE NATURE OF THINGS HERE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
BECAUSE HERE WE FORM A COMMUNITY THAT TRANSCENDS BORDERS.
HERE WE REJECT THE IDEA THAT ANYONE IS ILLEGAL.
WE ARE A DIGNIFIED CITY OF MILLIONS OF INTERNATIONAL WORKERS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE,
AND TOGETHER WE ARE DEVELOPING THE CAPACITY TO DEFEND OUR MOTHERS, OUR FATHERS, OUR FAMILIES, AND OUR CHILDREN FROM ICE AND THEIR RACIST AND ARMED VIGILANTES NOW INVADING OUR COMMUNITIES. 
IT’S PARA LOS NIÑOS THAT WE ORGANIZE TO FIGHT FOR THOSE WHO CAN’T.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO STAND ON THE SIDELINES, AND CONSIDER YOURSELF SAFE, BELIEVE US WHEN WE SAY THAT YOU’RE NOT. FASCISM IS LAWLESS. ITS AGENTS WEAPONIZE WHAT THEY CONSIDER TO BE THE LAW AND WILL ONLY APPLY IT TO THOSE THAT THEY TARGET, WHILE THEY ILLEGALLY DETAIN, HARASS, TERRORIZE, AND DISAPPEAR THE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITIES WITH TOTAL IMPUNITY.
AS WE SPEAK THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO BLUR THE LINES BETWEEN WHAT IS PROTEST AND WHAT IS “TERRORISM”, BETWEEN WHO IS AN INNOCENT WORKER AND WHO IS A “VIOLENT CRIMINAL”.
THIS COULD SOON BE THE NORM WHETHER YOU’RE A CITIZEN OR NOT. TO STAND WITH US IS TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELVES.

BORN AND RAISED IN MEXICO.
BLACK AND BROWN NO BACKING US DOWN.
SOLO EL PUEBLO SALVA AL PUEBLO.
IN PEACE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.”
