Jane Fonda brought her Committee for the First Amendment to Washington, D.C. on Friday for a pre-No Kings Day rally that focused on Donald Trump’s attacks on the media and the pending merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery.

Held on a street just near the Kennedy Center, the event’s purpose was to “defend free expression and political intimidation, institutional capture, and censorship across the arts, culture and media.”

Joining her were actors and performers including Joan Baez, Billy Porter, Maggie Rogers, Rupi Kaur, Sam Waterston, Griffin Dunne, Crys Matthews and Kristy Lee, as well as journalists Jim Acosta and Joy Reid, and writers Ann Patchett and Bess Kalb.

Fonda has been outspoken about the impact of recent media consolidation, not just Paramount-WBD but the FCC’s recent greenlight to the Nexstar-Tegna combination, creating a broadcast giant of almost 270 TV stations.
