You don’t have to agree with Jimmy Kimmel — or even live in Los Angeles — to see what’s at stake. Pulling him off the air is censorship. And censorship, no matter who it targets, puts us all at risk: today it’s someone you don’t like, tomorrow it’s someone you do.

But this isn’t just about one comedian. When Jimmy Kimmel Live! is pulled, hundreds of workers — writers, camera crews, editors, and staff — are suddenly out of work. That ripple hits drivers, caterers, and local businesses that rely on steady production. In a fragile economy, that’s not just politics. That’s people’s paychecks.

The next days are crucial. If this stands, silencing voices on TV will become the new normal. Once normalized, censorship spreads — from comedians to journalists to everyday citizens. And the jobs that sustain our creative industries will always be at risk.

This isn’t left or right. It’s about whether America still protects open debate and the livelihoods that depend on it.

We demand:
• Jimmy Kimmel Live! be reinstated immediately.
• Disney/ABC affirm their commitment to free speech and their workers.
• Leaders in media and government defend both the Constitution and American jobs.

If a comedian’s microphone can be cut, so can yours.

Sign now — before censorship costs us both our voices and our jobs.
