Our pledge: We want to go on record right from the start and let the whole world know that we stand for our right to full freedom of speech from oppressive and evil governments, and resist the way in which this country is moving to an authoritarian and anti-democratic ideology.

And we argue that we must all call for a wide range of resistance to these dark times. This is of the utmost importance for the health of artists, writers, and other makers and for a healthy citizenry.
