❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The No Kings Coalition and the Committee for the First Amendment are organizing a nationwide day of protest and a New York City concert on June 14, 2026, counterprogramming President Donald J. Trump’s 80th birthday, Flag Day, and the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House. 📰 DETAIL: The event, titled “Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment,” will feature performances by Jane Fonda—branded “Hanoi Jane” during the Vietnam War for siding with the Viet Cong—Bette Midler, Joy Reid, and others. It is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM ET in New York City, with supporters encouraged to host or join gatherings nationwide. 💬 KEY QUOTE: “June 14 is about building hyper-local infrastructure we need to fight back against authoritarian attacks on our communities. While politicians from the White House to state houses all across this country act like unaccountable kings, we’ll be doing the real work of bringing communities together in living rooms, community centers, and businesses across America.” – No Kings Coalition statement 🎯 IMPACT: President Trump will be attending UFC Freedom 250 on June 14, which will feature a lightweight title unification bout, an interim heavyweight championship bout, and at least five other tilts. UFC President Dana White is a longtime supporter of the President. |
