We did it!
Today, with media cameras rolling, we marched from Stephen Colbert’s
studio to deliver 250,000 petition signatures from people just like you to
CBS's headquarters.

We were greeted by a wall of guards - giving away that CBS is feeling the
pain we intend - but we were successful!

Outside Colbert’s studio, PCCC Co Founder Adam Green addressed the danger
that is greater than a single show:
"From CBS to law firms, universities, and other institutions across the
country, we’re seeing a dangerous trend: people preemptively obeying."

Amidst chants of "Save Colbert" and "Dump Trump, Not Colbert" NY
Assemblyman Tony Simone told the crowd:
"I want to send a clear message to our institutions, whether it’s higher
education, the media, or CBS: Stop bowing to Donald Trump."

Then came NYC Council Member Erik Bottcher vowing:
"We will not let a powerful media company silence a truth-teller to
appease a would-be fascist."

Jon Stewart told the nation on Monday that CBS canceling Colbert
represents:
"The fear and pre-compliance that is gripping all of America’s
institutions…This is not the moment to give in."
We are not giving in. We’re making clear that the pressure is not going
away!
Starting tomorrow, a billboard truck will circle CBS/Paramount
headquarters hour after hour with an updated total of petition signers.

add your name today?
