Her son and family are now seeking to continue on her legacy of advocacy for peace, and championing social and political issues, which notably included founding the anti-censorship organization Parents For Rock And Rap in the late 80s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Mary Morello Memorial Project<\/strong> has newly been launched in her honor, with her son <strong>Tom<\/strong> sharing the following about it today, July 20th, on social media:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe <strong>Morello<\/strong> Family invites friends, family, and all those whose lives were touched by <strong>Mary Morello<\/strong> to honor her memory by helping to keep her legacy of compassion, courage and service alive. Donations to the <strong>Mary Morello Memorial Project<\/strong> will support organizations that were deeply meaningful to <strong>Mary<\/strong> throughout her life, and reflect the causes she passionately believed in and was proud to work alongside (see below).<\/p>\n<p>But we also invite you to \u201cdo as <strong>Mary<\/strong> did\u201d, and engage first hand in CARING, SERVICE &amp; ACTION. Between now and Oct. 1st (which would have been Mary\u2019s 103rd birthday) get out there and DO SOMETHING: volunteer, protest, speak up, speak out, walk a picket line, do political art &amp; music, and help those in need in anyway you see fit in your community. Share your efforts on Instagram and tag @MaryMorelloMemorialProject so as a community we can continue <strong>Mary<\/strong>\u2019s work for peace, equality and justice.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Mary Morello Memorial Project<\/strong> proudly supports:<\/p>\n<p>UFW Foundation M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res (MSF)<br \/>The Midnight Mission Jail Guitar Doors USA<br \/>Orphans of the Storm<br \/>All Chicago Coraz\u00f3n con Cuba<br \/>PCRF \u2013 Palestine Children\u2019s Relief Fund<br \/>CNAY | Center for Native American Youth\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tommorello.com\/mary-morello-memorial-project-of-caring-service-and-action\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This webpage<\/a> has also been launched as the current homebase for the project, and is actively fielding donations for the cause.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbCGGoBvND8\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">View this post on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbCGGoBvND8\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">A post shared by Tom Morello (@tommorello)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mary Morello, mother of Rage Against The Machine, etc. guitarist Tom Morello, and a noted activist in her&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":949232,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[29],"tags":[171,975,59081,94585,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-949231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-rage-against-the-machine","tag-tom-morello","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116956979959023699","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=949231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/949232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=949231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=949231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=949231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
