Apparently the only ones who do not seem to matter much less can understand that they have created a big problem when they are promoting racism and the residents of Arizona and its authorities.

Has been incorporated a symbol of the 60's and not referring to the symbol of "love and peace," rather the image of a clenched fist holding a microphone.

Several decades have elapsed since the 60's but the funny thing is now involved in this new struggle are the musicians: rap, metal, pop, grupero, and rockers have created a union to defend deported from Arizona and have raised their red-black flag and they take the slogan "The Sound Strike"

There are about 200 artists who have gone on strike and refused to visit on Arizona, let alone give concerts, creating a boycott before the law SB1070, these musicians have commented that the law is "the criminalization of immigrants."

This special occasion the protest songs such barbarity of the law SB1070, by which was heard at the Wiltern, a concert in Los Angeles, the Massive Attack where the people sang the song "Safe from harm", which was projected onto the screen a sarcastic and sincere greeting, "What the fucking, Arizona?".

Union of ideals: goodbye to racism ... gringos and Latinos working to respect the rights of migrants

Good ideas have emerged from this “strike of sound”, are now raising funds to support the struggle of Latinos for their rights. The first concert was this desire was Rage against the Machine, raising
$ 300,000 USD.

How long Arizona? The no tolerance, human rights violations and racism are a reflection of immaturity and ineptitude of failing to recognize that Latinos are the gears that move the machinery of the nation of Barack Obama.
