The Greater Manassas Democracy Defenders, a subcommittee of the Manassas & Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee, will hold a potluck social and watch party to view “Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment” which is being livestreamed from New York City on Sunday, June 14, from 7:30-9 pm.

Our watch party will be held at the Social Soiree event venue, 8270 Shoppers Square, Manassas VA 20111 and will be preceded by a potluck social from 7-7:30 pm.

We will also provide poster board and colored markers to create handmade signs for upcoming protests, such as the John Lewis Good Trouble Lives On weekend of action planned for July 17-19.

The livesteamed ‘Rise Up, Sing Out!’ concert, hosted by the Committee for the First Amendment and featuring an all-star lineup–including Jane Fonda, Patti Smith, Bette Midler, Rufus Wainwright, Joy Reid, Wilson Cruz, and others–will provide an uplifting evening of music, community, and action.

Bring your signing voice; we expect to have printed song lyrics, so we can all join in.

Together, we’ll celebrate the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment — including the freedoms of speech, religion, press, assembly, and protest — and the people power that protects them. Communities across the country will gather for local watch parties to livestream the 90-minute concert beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Join us to sing along, connect with neighbors, share food and creativity, and celebrate the power we build when we come together. Whether you’re a longtime organizer or brand new to the movement, you’re invited to an evening of joy, inspiration, and collective action in support of democracy and freedom.

Please RSVP on Mobilize so we know you’re coming.

Attendees are also welcome to sign up to bring a potluck food, beverage, or supply item on this Signup Genius page.
