We vow to do right by artists and audiences alike.

​

We value and prioritize quality representation and will actively seek to promote it, instead of using our passive actions as an excuse to cancel our stories.

​

We understand the vital importance of this endeavor, and that it has real-world consequences.

​

We will build our organizations and projects so that we leave this space and time better than we found it.

​

We will never treat vulnerable communities like a trend or exploit solidarity for profit.

​

We vow to do better and be better than those in current power, and when we are able to hold that privilege, we will treat it as such and do our level best to hold ourselves accountable to those whose stories we tell.

 

We are fiercely urging you, Big Media, and those currently with power to do the same.

 

Signed,

SouJee Han
