Stop Censorship — Leaders in the Arts Speak Out!

Are we really headed in the same direction as the Nazis?

Click below for thoughtful commentary from leaders in the broader artistic community — from performers, theatrical directors, artists, filmmakers, choreographers, and more — speaking to the dangers of censorship in the arts, ever mindful of this famous post-Holocaust quote from a pastor, speaking to the inaction of moral leaders like himself to fight the Nazi scourge.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
