We seek to support the artist and workers who are fighting to keep our stages, screens and galleries free. Free from government control, censorship, and the erasure of whole cultures from view. We seek to rally the DMV arts community to stand up to, to stop, and finally reverse the trend of partisan interference in the arts.

We want the arts to be free. We want your Hands Off the Arts!

Our Goals

• Spark an Arts Rebellion: through art and protest to inspire a constant resistance to government overreach in the arts starting with Washington, DC

• Reclaim the Kennedy Center from authoritarian overreach and protect other arts and cultural institutions from similar fates.

• Raise Courage, Counter Demoralization: Demoralization is a tactic of the government to coerce Americans into giving up. Arts - especially those of resistance - both counter their narrative and give our side courage.
