In dangerous times, truth hides in plain sight—spoken through laughter.

For centuries, the jester was the only one who could mock the king and live. Today, comedians carry that same torch—exposing hypocrisy, challenging power, and reminding us what it means to be free.

But now, their voices are being silenced.

The abrupt cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert—following Jon Stewart’s long-awaited return to The Daily Show—wasn’t just a programming change. It was a signal. A warning. That the space for fearless satire and truth-telling is shrinking fast.

In a culture gripped by fear, it’s the comedians who help us see clearly.
When they say what others won’t, they break the spell.
When they make us laugh, they help us heal.

We launched #ProtectOurComedians to defend the sacred role of humor in a free society.

Because when the jesters go silent, tyranny gets the last laugh.

Join us—sign the declaration, raise your voice, and help protect the truth-tellers before it’s too late.
