The next 250 starts with us. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, we have a choice about what story we tell. We can let strongman politics and corruption define the moment. Or we can make the story of America about people coming together — across race, background, identity, belief, and community — to defend our rights and build a future rooted in people power. On June 14, we rise up, we sing out, and we keep organizing. While the Committee for the First Amendment leads and hosts this powerful concert, Indivisible and No Kings are proud to partner with them to build the durable, hyper-local infrastructure our movement needs to win and counter the president's spectacle. On June 14, the national concert event celebrates the freedoms that belong to all of us: speech, assembly, protest, religion, press, and expression.

We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns.

We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence.
