For these reasons, legendary guitarist Tom Morello and his new label Firebrand Records, along with the digital rights group Fight for the Future, have organized the Rock Against the TPP tour. The tour is a nationwide series of large-scale concerts, protests, and teach-ins featuring high profile musicians and celebrities.
