I have signed the Call because we cannot
wait and merely hope that things will get better. We need to take
concrete action. As an artist and citizen of empire, doing nothing, or
remaining silent is tantamount to collusion. We must move to dismantle
the Bush regime and the US military boot that is on the neck of most of
the world. And to work towards true democracy in the United States. On
a more personal level, to maintain our own humanity within a brutal,
capitalistic system, resistance to injustice and all that diminishes us
is crucial, and is the foundation for not only being human, but staying
that way. And it’s also good for the libido.
