Tom Morello is proving he will rage against the machine. Last week (August 24), he was seen performing and chanting at the reopening of the Star Garden Topless Dive Bar, the venue's debut as the first and only unionized strip club in the United States.

"This is what solidarity looks like!!" Morello wrote on Instagram while sharing some photos of the night. "Rocking the @equitystrippersnoho Victory Party at Star Gardens, which after a tremendous fight is THE ONLY UNIONIZED STRIP CLUB IN THE USA!!"

Back in May, L.A.'s Star Garden Topless Dive Bar successfully unionized after petitioning against racist termination practices as well as lack of safety for dancers the year before.
