Tom Morello To Perform in Los Angeles at the One Nation Event Tomorrow
Tom Morello
Tom Morello
If you follow filmmaker, writer, and activist Jason Pollock on Twitter, then you probably know he's all about getting involved and taking part in democracy (after all, he's the guy behind the documentary The Youngest Candidate). He approached us today and asked if he could share a post about an event tomorrow and we thought it was worth passing along. Thanks, Jason!One Nation Marches are taking place tomorrow all over America with the biggest one in D.C. However, we here in Los Angeles will get a special treat at our local event. The one & only Tom Morello, one of the most vocal & active musicians on the political landscape, will be performing live at the LA One Nation Event!
Morello performs his solo act as "The Nightwatchman", and if you haven't seen him perform already then I highly recommend you come out!
Here's info from the site about where to be in Los Angeles on October 2nd:
To accommodate all the people coming to the event, the organizers have moved the event to the other end of LACC: LA City College (855 Vermont for tracking purposes)
