No Kings will host "A Night to Build Community" on June 14, a nationwide concert streaming performances by Bette Midler, Patti Smith, and Rufus Wainwright. Organizers designed the fourth No Kings event to counter President Trump's White House UFC birthday bout by offering an alternative cultural program. The streamed concert aims to refocus attention on community organizing and democratic values instead of the presidential spectacle.
