Rage Against the Machine played in Ottawa on Friday night and used their time to call out violent actions against Canada’s indigenous people.
A screen behind the band and stage displayed facts about the hardship of indigenous people.
One screen read, “An Indigenous person in Canada is over 10 times more likely to be shot and killed by a police officer than a white person is.”
Another showed the text, ““In Canada, Indigenous women and girls are 16 times more likely to be murdered or to disappear than white women are.”
Rage Against the Machine will continue touring the Ontario area until July 23.
Do you think Rage Against the Machine is using their platform for good? Have you ever seen the band in concert?
