In Fremont, Nebraska in the US mid-west, some of the biggest names in indie rock played a sold-out pro-immigrant benefit gig on July 31 titled 鈥淐oncert for Equality鈥.
Omaha.com said on August 2: 鈥淭he theme of the day 鈥 and the reason for the show 鈥 was to fight Fremont鈥檚 recently passed immigration ordinance, which would fine employers and landlords who hire or rent to illegal immigrants.鈥
All proceeds from the gig were offered to the American Liberties Civil Union to assist its fight against the law, Pollstar.com said on August 4.
