The collaboration on the new single “Adjourn It” by Tom Morello, featuring Serj Tankian and Roman Morello, sends a powerful message to listeners to resist fascism. The music video incorporates excerpts from the film Salt of the Earth (1954), depicting the struggles of Mexican-American miners against labor exploitation and racism, highlighting the theme of resistance. The filmmakers behind the movie were blacklisted due to their political beliefs, adding to the significance of their work in portraying social injustices.

Tom Morello emphasized the importance of art as a form of resistance in the current social and political climate, stating that “Adjourn It” is a call for justice during unjust times. The collaboration with Serj Tankian and his son, Roman Morello, showcases dynamic riffs alongside poignant vocals, inspired by the plight of immigrants facing persecution and the need to stand up against oppressive forces like fascism. This new track is a rallying cry for freedom, justice, and equality.

Serj Tankian echoed the sentiment in the song, describing “Adjourn It” as a protest anthem against the cruel actions of ICE, such as family separations, racial profiling, and violence. He condemned the government’s inhumane treatment of immigrants seeking a better life in the country, calling for due process and a humane immigration policy. Tankian highlighted the need for judicial intervention to prevent further injustices and called for a reevaluation of the current immigration practices.

Earlier this year, Tom Morello and Bruce Springsteen protested against ICE operations in Minnesota, while Morello engaged in demonstrations in New York with Hands Off NYC, denouncing ICE abuses at 26 Federal Plaza. The collaboration and message of “Adjourn It” reflect a shared dedication to advocacy and activism in the face of social injustices, emphasizing the role of music in inspiring change and promoting awareness. The production of the track by Zakk Cervini showcases the collective effort of the artists involved in addressing pressing issues through their art.
