Faced with the attacks on a pillar of our democracy, the independent press, we citizens are asking you to cancel the White House Correspondents’ dinner. This event will give the White House yet another opportunity to strengthen its narrative of a biased media and spread its propaganda whilst condemning, embarrassing and further undermining the fourth estate. As we march in the streets to force the White House to hear us, we need to know that the press stands separate, not rubbing elbows with the administration that we march against. Please reconsider this event.
