Tom Morello has released a new single, Pretend to Remember Me, in support of immigrant rights across America. The single is released in partnership with the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), a non-profit organisation that has advocated for the Los Angeles immigrant community for nearly four decades.
“This song is written for all the families torn apart by the recent immigrant purges and kidnappings," says Morello. "Children torn from their wailing mothers’ arms by masked government thugs, people coming home to find their loved ones abducted by the state. Folks who worked, suffered, and struggled for decades just to make a decent life for themselves and their family were violently separated with an uncertain future.
