Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Prophets Of Rage) has been named as an ambassador for the American Civil Liberties Union‘s “Campaign For Smart Justice.” That initiative was launched in an effort to help “reduce the U.S. jail and prison population by 50% and to combat racism in the criminal justice system.” Morello told the Los Angeles Times the following:

“I’ve been a longtime supporter of the ACLU, and in these troubled times, I want to do everything I can to tilt the fulcrum of justice in the right direction. For a century, the ACLU have been champions of freedom of speech, civil rights equality and justice and have tirelessly, in a nonpartisan way, stood up for principles. I’m proud to have this position.”
