On December 13th, 1997, Tom Morello was among the 33 people arrested for obstructing a place of business in protest of "Guess?" jeans manufacturer. The protest included a march and a demonstration blocking the entrance to Santa Monica Place Mall. Tom said: "We're against it because they use sweatshop labor in Calcutta, and in the United States -- in Los Angeles, New York City, and the Bay Area. They have slave labor conditions. And they're counting on the people that are reading this not to care. They think that fashion is more important and whatever, and so that brutal exploitation of those workers isn't going to matter to them. We're betting that they're wrong."
