Jane Fonda to host First Amendment celebration opposite Trump's UFC Freedom 250 event
Fonda’s advocacy group is rallying actors and musicians for a livestreamed concert supporting free speech and democracy.
- On Sunday, actor Jane Fonda will host the "Rise Up, Sing Out" concert at The Town Hall in New York City, occurring simultaneously with President Donald Trump's 80th birthday and the nation's 250th anniversary celebration on the White House South Lawn.
- Fonda's Committee for the First Amendment organizes the event to defend free speech and democracy, which she claims have come under attack during the current presidency.
- She revived the organization in October, referencing the 1947 group her father, actor Henry Fonda, formed when Hollywood figures were called before the House Un-American Activities Committee.
- Friday's premiere of the documentary "Gaslit" explores environmental impacts of oil extraction in Texas and Louisiana, with Fonda criticizing Trump's regulatory policies.
- Additionally, Fonda has called for regulators to block the proposed $110 billion Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros Discovery merger, citing concerns over concessions CEO David Ellison made to the Federal Communications Commission.
