The event, called "Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment," was hosted by far-left activist and actress Jane Fonda , nicknamed "Hanoi Jane," and the Committee for the First Amendment in New York City.

Bette Midler, an 80-year-old actress and activist, took center stage to perform her own rendition of Woody Guthrie's "All You Fascists Bound to Lose," backed by four other singers. She changed some of the lyrics to the song to make it anti-ICE themed.
