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.
