The Rude Mechanical Orchestra is a radical protest marching band based in Lenapehoking, the unceded occupied land of the Lenape Nation, colonially known as the New York City area. We play music and provide chant support in the streets at protests, marches, rallies, direct actions, community events, and more for the revolution and all its intersecting avenues, including (but not limited to): feminism, immigrant rights, queer and trans liberation, labor, peace, equitable community self-determination, decolonization, and racial, social, economic, housing, and climate justice. We actively resist and seek to dismantle racism, (cis)sexism, anti-queerness, ableism, ageism, classism, colonialism, zionism, antisemitism, apartheid, war, genocide, ecocide, gentrification, and all forms of oppression.
