Sign it. Then REPLY here to tell us you did. It's a tiny way to move beyond just talking.
There's little chance that this will keep the choir away from the inauguration, but it would be great to show lots and lots of support for acts of conscience such as this.
The started with a goal of 25,000. Then 30,000. Now they need 15,000 to reach 50,000.

"I believe it is right and proper for an organization that purports to follow the teachings of Jesus to not show support for persons or institutions that are purposely antithetical to these teachings. Especially if they embrace violence, racism, misogyny and generally taking advantage of other people.
