About the National Fall of Freedom Campaign

This event is part of the national Fall of Freedom call for artists, a coordinated effort across the country to resist the erosion of civil liberties and the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. Through art, music, and community storytelling, this campaign creates spaces to witness injustice, amplify marginalized voices, and take a stand against censorship, state violence, and the normalization of fascism.

Artists and community members are encouraged to contribute because art is one of the most powerful tools for truth-telling and resistance. By participating, you help document this historical moment, inspire collective action, and ensure that no one is silenced or disappeared.

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!

NOW IS the TIME WHEN WE MUST RISE UP and ACT to STOP the CONSOLIDATION of TRUMP MAGA FASCISM. For the lives of people here and around the world we must refuse unlawful and inhumane orders… we must fill the streets and town squares in non-violent protest—not stopping until we become millions — not relenting until this regime is no longer able to implement its program or maintain its hold on power.
