National Concert for the First Amendment — to Be Streamed Across Country — Sunday, June 14

On June 14, the Committee for the First Amendment will be hosting Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment, an uplifting evening of song, solidarity, and action.

Featuring an all-star line-up of performers, this 90-minute concert event will celebrate the freedoms guaranteed by our First Amendment—of speech, religion, press, assembly, and protest—and the people power that both fuels these rights and is essential to guarantee them.

Even as authoritarians increase their attacks on our freedoms and communities, we see examples across the country of people rising up together, taking action, and turning back those forces.

The event will be streamed with watch parties all across the country—so wherever you are, you can sing along, find inspiration in the performances, build community, and take meaningful action together.

Go here to buy tickets or see details on how to watch from home or find watch parties.

  2. It has been advertised in your material that this may be watched on C-span. Not there.
    Went to the website where it says “Go to” for info how to watch at home…no info.
    Very frustrated at how to watch this at home.
    It’s an awesome idea!
    People “across the country”, as you say, should get to see this.
    It should be easier to find.
