Wherever you are. Whatever your creative expression.

Tomorrow, Saturday, April 19, 2025, fire your shot for our continued liberty to imagine, create and express ourselves without external constraints or censorship.

Empathetic creatives have a power that autocrats cannot extinguish. Please demonstrate this power (to your neighbors or the world) whether you are:

• participating with others in a public protest,
• creating your own guerilla act of art activism, or
• reinforcing the joy of the arts and creativity from your computer.

“If they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”

Captain John Parker, a leader of the Lexington militia, during the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775

Thank you

Thank you for standing up for creative expression and freedom of speech at a tenuous time in America. 

Creative people have the power to speak truths, shift perspectives and reimagine the future.

Right now, our future needs us.

And we must do all we can to protect democracy, culture, respect … and empathy.

We thank our Bluesky colleagues Kennedy Off Center and Liberal Resistance for their Create to Liberate promotional support.
