Last February, Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, The Nightwatchman) , Tim McIlrath (Rise Against) and Wayne Kramer (The MC5) came to Madison amid the protests to lend their songs in support of the fight for union rights.
Now, they are joining forces once again for the Justice Tour 2011 which will stop in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Michigan this September. All profits will benefit The Nation Institute.
Be sure to catch the show in Madison, this Labor Day, September 5, at The Barrymore. Find tickets here.
Last month, Morello released the EP Union Town, with all profits benefiting the America Votes Labor Unity Fund via SaveWorkers.org. The release consists of pro-union songs and was inspired by Morello's performance in Madison in February of this year in protest Scott Walker's anti-union bill.
"This year's Justice Tour aims to support independent media which is battling the mountain of disinformation and propaganda foisted on the public by right wing media barons. We will also return to the union battlegrounds of the Midwest to help steel the backbone of workers under siege," said Tom Morello.
Tim McIlrath added, "Playing with Tom on the steps of the Capital building in Madison last February was an inspiring experience. I can't wait to join him again for such an important cause. Media has become a battleground, and we're out to even the odds."

to forgive is not to forget, nor remit, but let it go. to be lonely is not because you have no friends, but no one is living in your heart.
