A lineup of entertainers will gather in New York City next month for a concert supporting First Amendment rights. The event is set to feature performances and statements from several prominent figures in film, music, and media.
Jane Fonda, Patti Smith, Rufus Wainwright, Bette Midler, Joy Reid, Sasha Allen and Broadway Inspirational Voices are scheduled to appear at Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment. The 90-minute show takes place on June 14 in New York City and will stream live online at no charge starting at 7:30 p.m. ET. Proceeds support the Committee for the First Amendment, which Fonda helped revive in 2025 during the second Trump administration. Watch parties are also planned at sites around the country.
