The progressive organization said it would spearhead demonstrations on June 14, exactly one year after its first nationwide protest against the president, and the day it said Trump would be “distracted” by the UFC fight on the White House’s South Lawn. The protests will be the fourth No Kings has organized and will be anchored by a concert in New York, “celebrating the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment,” featuring celebrities such as Jane Fonda, Bette Midler, Rufus Wainwright, and Patti Smith.
