No Kings Movement Plans Concert to Counter President Trump's UFC Birthday Event
The No Kings movement has announced a nationwide event on June 14, coinciding with President Trump's 80th birthday celebrations, which include a UFC bout on the White House lawn. The movement's event, titled 'A Night to Build Community,' will feature a 90-minute concert at New York's Town Hall with performances by Bette Midler, Patti Smith, and others. The concert will be streamed nationwide, with local groups hosting watch parties. The event is co-presented by the Committee for the First Amendment and aims to frame the U.S.'s 250th anniversary as a moment of democratic reckoning. This initiative contrasts with Trump's UFC event, which is expected to draw significant crowds and features a title fight between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje.
