Rise Up, Sing Out - A Concert for the First Amendment. An Evening to Build Community.
Jun 14, 2026
The next 250 starts with us. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, we have a choice about what story we tell.
We can let strongman politics and corruption define the moment. Or we can make the story of America about people coming together across race, background, identity, belief, and community to defend our rights and build a future rooted in people power.
On June 14, we rise up, we sing out, and we keep organizing.
While the Committee for the First Amendment leads and hosts this powerful concert, Indivisible and No Kings are proud to partner with them to build the durable, hyper-local infrastructure our movement needs to win and counter the president's spectacle. On June 14, the national concert event celebrates the freedoms that belong to all of us: speech, assembly, protest, religion, press, and expression.
Across the country, communities will gather for local watch parties to sing along, make art, share food, connect with neighbors, and take meaningful action together.

(115,021 posts)1. I saw most of it and am just so amazed at Jane Fonda (I have been for years, but at 88 yo?)
I, unfortunately missed DeNiro's speech but, based on those I've heard before, find him incredible as well.
Great role models those two! They give me hope.

except for Bette Midler. Most of the songs they tried to teach the audience were tuneless. The speakers were amazing however.
