No Kings Protests: Bruce Springsteen, Jane Fonda, and Robert De Niro Turn Out Against Donald Trump

Published by Sam Flores

Springsteen shared the stage with the likes of progressive Senator Bernie Sanders and actor and activist Jane Fonda, who gave voice to the pain of those impacted by the actions of ICE agents by reading a statement from Becca Good, Renee Good’s widow. “The world now knows that my wife sparkled with sunshine and shone with kindness that is unmatched,” Good said in the statement. “We were robbed of an incredible human. It has made people pause, and take a breath, and have to choose sides. We choose the side of love.” Meanwhile, in New York, Robert De Niro took the podium at that city’s demonstration. The Heat actor is known for his direct criticism of Trump, which was on display Saturday. “It’s time to say no to kings,” he began. “It’s time to say no to Donald Trump. We’ve had enough.

And coming just a day after the singer dropped a new single and announced his first album in five years this week, it was impossible for it not to feel celebratory. Friday was the first of two Fonda underplays McCartney plays this weekend, with show two coming Saturday night. It’s a rare opportunity for a select few fans — plenty of others were outside trying in earnest to score a last-second ticket — but shows like these haven’t been unheard of over the past year; he played three shows at …
