Hi everyone! I'm starting this petition in the hopes that maybe Lionsgate will change their minds and let me keep my Lucy Gray videos up on YouTube. If you have enjoyed these songs and arrangements please sign this petition to help me. I can't thank you enough for all of your support for these songs over the last year and a half. 

I will be taking them down from all platforms over the next few weeks. I would just like to keep them up on YouTube if Lionsgate would be willing to let me keep them there. I have compiled a list of over 300 examples of other people's videos and arrangements on YouTube that they have not taken down or removed. I can't help but feel unfairly targeted. 

If I don't remove them, I risk losing my YouTube channel completely as they file claims and reports against my channel. I am a small independent artist, and I can't afford to lose the community I've built on YouTube. 

After nearly two years worth of work and putting my heart and energy into these recordings and videos, it truly breaks my heart to have to take them down. Not just the arrangements, but the covers of The Hanging Tree and Deep in the Meadow, and the public domain song "Down in the Valley" they have claimed because of one changed word. 

I have made so many important and meaningful connections within the Hunger Games community through this, and I have been absolutely heartbroken about this whole situation. 

If any of these songs have resonated with you, please sign this petition and reach out to Lionsgate and let them know. Thank you for all of your support. It truly means the world to me.
