The Sound Strike represents a group of artists, including RODRIGO Y GABRIELA, which has taken a stand for civil and human rights in a collective decision to boycott Arizona and to make a call to other artists to do the same due to Arizona's controversial illegal immigration law. Zack's appearance in Colorado was especially poignant due to the increased discussion of a similar law in the state of Colorado.
Critics say that the Arizona law encourages racial profiling. De la Rocha told Rolling Stone in 1999 that he was faced with bigotry in his hometown of Irvine, California, saying, "I told myself that I would never be silent again. I would never allow myself to not respond to that type of situation — in any form, anywhere."
A number of artists, including RAGE, NINE INCH NAILS, BEN HARPER, MAROON 5 and others, refuse to perform in Arizona until the law is lifted.
