Win Butler has been outspoken politically lately. In a recent lecture, he criticized Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, calling him “a complete fucking nightmare and a joke.” At Arcade Fire’s show at Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, Butler called out British Petroleum for the devastating Deepwater Horizon oil spill from 2010.
Jam the Vote is organized in partnership with Headcount. Tickets are available here.
