Let's Hold A Rally To Regain Sanity!

Let's petition Jon Stewart, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, & Samantha Bee to hold another 'Rally To Restore Sanity' to show President-Elect Trump that the people he is trying to silence, oppress, and scare are NOT going away, and to show America what we can do when we combine voices against oppression through the lens of comedy.

Why is this important?

I attended the original Rally to Restore Sanity in Washington D.C. that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert hosted back in 2012, right before the Romney Vs. Obama election. It was incredibly powerful to see these two very funny people convey a strong sense of humanity, justice, and compassion through humor. It was also great to see a sea of human beings who were all so very different: Muslim, Gay, Black, Jewish, Atheist, Christian, Female, Male, Trans, etc band together united in both humor and a need to feel like we weren't alone during the election madness. After Trump's election, it has felt hopeless and painful for those of us in his target range (women, immigrants, LGBTQ, Muslims, African-Americans, etc). A rally to unite all those people who feel terrified of a new reign of terror could be very healing and positive for so many of us who have felt depressed and angry. Humor is a healing thing, and also a great weapon. I think another rally of this sort would be a very positive thing for those among us reeling from this horrible election, a way to unite us in a time of darkness.
