For the past several years Arianne has been contemplating the role of art, music, theater, and creativity plays in a society.
Working as music director she has witnessed theater change lives, perspectives, and connect the most unlikely of friends, and these same attributes are needed more and more in our Utah culture at large.
As Arianne would sing in her home to cope with the political stress she was feeling, this idea was born: to bring people together for connection, motivation, and action through art; whether it's theatric, a gallery, or any other art form medium, Arianne knew people's hearts can be changed by their own thoughts as they witnessed the mirror that the arts hold up to our society.
So when Marinda posted on social media that she was ready to act, they connected and created this advocacy vehicle. We can't wait to share it with our communities!
We are a collection of your neighbors and friends. Among our group you will find professional musicians, directors, producers, voice actors, Shakespearean Specialists, professional videographers, designers, technology specialists, professional recording artists, composers, and passionate advocates for humanity. The thing that unites us is our unflinching desire to continue the fight towards better things here in this country. We will not bow down to unchecked afronts to our democratic ideals, and we will not settle for anything less than liberty, and justice for all.
Our logo is inspired by this symbol of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy’s Eastern White Pine, under which there was shelter, and where the Peacemaker gathered the Chiefs. We believe in a tree for gathering, where we can find shelter, and work for harmony.
Together.
It perfectly encapsulates what we are all about: With collective roots strong and deep, we have witnessed that the principles of democracy - when put into action - make our vibrant communities flourish, just like the colorful leaves of a healthy tree.
We reject the notion that freedom for one takes away from freedom of another, and with joy we believe there is a place on the growing branches of freedom for all of us in our home, the United States of America.

MAGA extremism and attempts to undermine our democracy are on the rise. Together we must shine a light on the dangers of this extremism by holding Republicans accountable, and continue building a pro-democracy coalition to advance policies that are both right and popular. Getting it done depends on all of us.
