Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello asks for help in getting female guitar students out of Afghanistan

Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello is asking for the public's help in assisting female guitar students out of Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover of the capital city, Kabul.

The girls are students of a music school in Afghanistan Cordola helped bring to fruition through a non-profit called Miraculous Love Kids. The organization's purpose is to teach guitar to children in war-torn areas. "I’m writing on behalf of some very special girls in Afghanistan who are in grave danger," Morello writes in the letter obtained by Billboard. "[Girl With a Guitar] takes in street orphans and other girls that have endured significant trauma and uses music as a rehabilitation tool and means of working through their problems, their histories, and their hopes. I’ve had the honor of collaborating with these wonderful kids." "Since the Taliban takeover their school has been destroyed and the girls are in hiding. They are at extreme risk because they are widely known to have performed Western music and have been educated by a male American teacher. Anything you could do to help save their lives would be much appreciated," Morello's letter continues.
