‘No Kings’ movement planning nationwide event on Trump 80th birthday

The demonstrations will include a New York concert with Jane Fonda, Bette Midler, Rufus Wainwright and Patti Smith, organizers said.

  • On June 14, the 'No Kings' movement will stage nationwide protests coinciding with President Donald Trump's 80th birthday, anchored by a 90-minute 'Rise Up, Sing Out' concert at The Town Hall in New York City.
  • The movement aims to build local community infrastructure to resist what it calls 'strongman politics' while explicitly counter-programming the 'Freedom 250' Ultimate Fighting Championship event hosted on the White House South Lawn.
  • Sponsored by Jane Fonda's Committee for the First Amendment, the concert features entertainers Bette Midler, Patti Smith, and Rufus Wainwright, 'celebrating the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment' according to organizers.
  • Following three rounds of protests since the president took office, including demonstrations on his 79th birthday, No Kings continues its strategy while emphasizing its commitment to nonviolent action despite some past chaos.
  • Ahead of America's 250th anniversary, the movement frames its strategy as 'building hyper-local infrastructure' to foster community connection, aiming to shift focus from street protests to neighborhood engagement rooted in people's power.
