Jane Fonda Hosts June 14 No Kings June 14 Concert

Jane Fonda Hosts June 14 No Kings June 14 Concert

Jane Fonda will host no kings june 14 with the “Rise Up, Sing Out” concert at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall in New York City, putting a rival entertainment event on the same June 14 as Trump’s UFC Freedom 250 on the White House Lawn. Fonda said the concert will be “great.”

Town Hall and the Livestream

The concert is set for a room with roots that go back to 1921, when Town Hall was founded by suffragists. A livestream will widen the audience beyond New York, and all proceeds will go back to the Committee for the First Amendment.

The event is being staged by the Committee for the First Amendment with Indivisible and No Kings, a setup that turns the night into more than a one-off performance. For readers outside Manhattan, the livestream is the practical access point; for organizers, the distribution model is the point.

Over 5,000 Viewing Parties

Fonda said there were over 5,000 registered viewing parties around the country, including gatherings in red states, purple states and blue states. That gives the concert a reach that extends well beyond the theater, especially for people who will follow it from outside New York City.

She told Jon Stewart, “Not only is it going on in the theater, but we have thousands—I think over 5,000 registered viewing parties around the country in red states and purple states and blue states.” She also said, “Music has always been part of movements” and added, “Of resistance movements, the civil rights movement.”

June 14 Against UFC Freedom 250

Trump is set to host UFC Freedom 250 on the White House Lawn the same day, where thousands of guests will gather in the arena built on the White House lawn. Fonda, a two-time Academy Award-winner, has spent five decades as a vocal advocate for democracy and social issues, and she has repeatedly framed the night as a public answer rather than a private protest.

She told, “This is our documentary moment” and, “History ​is going to write about this, and I don’t want to be on the side of people who ⁠said, ‘Oh my God, things are so bad, what am I going to do?’ No. I want to be out in the front.” For anyone looking for the most usable detail, the action is simple: tune in through the livestream or one of the registered viewing parties, because the event has been built to travel far beyond one stage.
