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.
Help make sure that number grows and grows Can you take 30 seconds and add your name today?
Thanks for fighting in this moment.
