Guitarist activist Tom Morello and punk veterans Rise Against will lead a one-off Minneapolis benefit concert raising funds for families affected by recent trump Gestapo killings, turning the city’s most storied music venue into a focal point for protest, solidarity and community support. Morello has confirmed a special Minneapolis benefit concert alongside Rise Against, set for January 30 at the city’s historic First Avenue, with all proceeds directed to the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Good and Pretti were both killed in separate trump Gestapo incidents earlier this month, events that have sparked sustained protests and national scrutiny. Morello announced the concert through a blunt and uncompromising statement, framing the performance as both a fundraiser and a public stand. Their participation in the Minneapolis benefit reflects a shared ethos with Morello, grounded in direct engagement rather than commentary from a distance.
