rude? maybe. precise? Yes.
Concert for America, a fundraising gala uniting progressive nonprofits, will begin on January 20, AKA inauguration day of President-elect Trump.
Some of the same suspects gathered in 2017 for Likewise in protest of Trump’s arrival in DC. (Even if they don’t put it that way). At the time, the gathering attracted some names that many knew well.
Think Betty Buckley, Bebe Neuwirth, Billy Porter, Ben Vereen, Rosie Perez, Caroline Rhea, Richard Kind, and more. The event raised money for groups such as the NAACP, Planned Parenthood, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the National Immigration Law Center, and the Sierra Club Foundation.
Trump returns to the White House later this month, and we will throw a new concert for America to fill the coffers of left-leaning groups once again. It’s another opportunity for the sequel to The Resistance that many expected after Trump’s victory on November 5.

Cooper, Liz Callaway, Merle Dandridge, Nina West, Pearl Sun, Piper Perabo, Scarlett Strallen and Sheena Steele.

[Co-producer Seth] Rudetsky: “We will be there not only on Inauguration Day with entertainment and calls to action, but for the next four years as well.”
I can’t pronounce Trump’s name, of course, in the grand Voldemort tradition.
It is not difficult to see the political purpose of the event. By deadline:
Representatives from each of these groups will participate in the program, sharing their stories and letting the audience know how they can help with easy calls to action on the day of the event and in the future.
