Jane Fonda calls on entertainment industry leaders to defend 'right to free expression'.

The Oscar-winning actress took to the stage at the Rise Up, Sing Out concert held at The Town Hall in New York City on Sunday night. The concert was organised by members of the Committee for the First Amendment. Addressing the crowd, Fonda claimed U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration are "routinely violating" the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution "to silence artists." "Shuttering institutions like the Kennedy Center, defunding museums and the National Endowment of the Arts, and banning books, cancelling TV hosts who speak out.”
