On June 14, 2026, as the United States marked its 250th anniversary, a striking cultural contrast played out.
While the Trump administration hosted a high-profile UFC match on the White House lawn to celebrate the President’s 80th birthday, activists gathered at New York City’s historic Town Hall for the 'Rise Up, Sing Out' concert.
Organized by Jane Fonda and the Committee for the First Amendment, the event served as a powerful counter-narrative to the administration's policies.
The concert was streamed globally, while hundreds of local watch parties allowed citizens across the country to participate in the dialogue.
