In this image I see a man who is wearing white shirt and a red tie and I see that he is standing in front of a podium and I see 3 boards over here on which there are words written and I see the floor and I see a stool over here on which there is a mic. In the background I see number of people who are sitting and I see a flag over here and I see few words written over here too.

First Amendment Defenders: Stars Revive Committee After Kimmel Suspension

The Committee for the First Amendment has been revived, led by prominent cultural figures, to defend free speech and expression following recent assaults on the First Amendment. The committee, comprising over 550 artists, actors, directors, and writers, was formed in response to the suspension of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' by the FCC.

The suspension of Kimmel's show, following comments made about the murder of Charlie Kirk, sparked outrage and led to the resurrection of the committee, originally founded during the McCarthy Era in 1947. The committee's official statement reads that they will stand together to defend free speech and expression.

The controversy surrounding Kimmel's suspension has had significant consequences. Disney has reportedly lost 1.7 million subscribers across its streaming channels due to backlash. Meanwhile, a member of Donald Trump's administration has confirmed that ICE will be present at Bad Bunny's 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, calling the decision to have the star perform 'shameful'.

The revival of the committee has attracted a wide range of notable figures, including music stars like Billie Eilish, Gracie Abrams, and Janelle Monae, as well as film luminaries such as Pedro Pascal, Spike Lee, and Jane Fonda. Kimmel's show was reinstated on September 23, with the host addressing his comments but stopping short of an apology.

The Committee for the First Amendment, with its illustrious members, stands united to oppose suppression of free speech and expression. The committee's revival signals a strong response to recent challenges to the First Amendment, with the entertainment industry rallying together to protect a fundamental right.
