Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello and Evanesence vocalist/pianist Amy Lee were among the protestors out en masse over the weekend as part of the June 14th ‘No Kings Day’ protests that took place across the United States. The protests were staged against current U.S. President Donald J. Trump and his administration’s divisive policies, and were held in response to the military parade Trump‘s administration held for the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, which coincided with Trump‘s own 79th birthday.
Morello‘s penchant for political activism and social justice-related causes has been a lifelong pursuit for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame-inducted musician. While a frequent participant in protests for worker unionization and more, 2025 has given him no shortage of causes to rally behind. Last month saw him standing up for his alma mater Harvard University, while last week also found him taking part in anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, CA.
Morello was filmed this past Saturday once again partaking in protests in Los Angeles, CA area, speaking to the fellow protestors, encouraging them to speak up to the ICE, the U.S. President and oligarchs with the phrase, ‘F*ck you I won’t do what you tell me!’ — the chorus from Rage Against The Machine‘s enduring 1992 protest anthem, “Killing In The Name“.
Morello shared some footage (see below) and pictures from his participation this past Saturday, June 14th, providing the following caption:
“ARREST THE PRESIDENT. When the oligarchs & racists decided American Fascism was their plan and occupied L.A. they picked the wrong muthaf*ckin’ city to come after! HUGE celebration. If resistance last Saturday in the streets.”
Tonight (June 16th) will see him onstage performing in Los Angeles as part of a benefit concert for The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights. Evanescence vocalist Amy Lee, who has been open about her political beliefs for a number of years now, took part in a No Kings protest apparently held in the Nashville, TN area. She shared the below picture on her Instagram story from her time there:
