Peaches, Simonne Jones, and tons of musicians, artists, activists, and free-thinkers are coming together to make a video in support of the russian punk feminist art collective. PUSSY RIOT! Now that you have heard about the video, we want you to take action! Here is why:

In March 2012 three members of Pussy Riot, Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, and Yekaterina Samutsevitch, were taken into custody by Russian authorities for their participation as part of a protest at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour of the Russian Orthodox Church in Moscow. Their punk prayer is and was an act of free speech and the charges of "hooliganism" and detainment of the three women are seen by the world as a cruel heavy handed act of oppression, are being carried out to discourage free thought and speech in Russia.

If Russia wishes to be a part of the modern globalized world it must adhere to the standards and principles of a free nation where its people have the right to have a free and open dialogue about all subjects. Discussion, debate, and action are the basic building blocks of a free society. By following through with the prosecution of these women Russian political bullies are currently making a mockery of free speech, free thought, and Russia's own country's constitution.

We, the citizens of the world and advocates for free speech, DEMAND the immediate release of Pussy Riot. The verdict is planned for August 17th - let's show Pussy Riot our support!

The charges and punishments facing Maria, Nadezhda, and Ekaterina are nothing more than a political stunt by the Russian authorities and Russian Orthodox Chruch to retain control over the Russian people and instill fear into the free-thinkers, political activists, and artists of Russia.

The world is watching, and we do not like what we see. Peaches, Simonne Jones and YOU! Free Pussy Riot!

armyan ... the first three presidents of the united states of america all broke the law and contributed to the death of those who oppressed them. Would you have told George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Admas to stop breaking the law?

[Armyan1988]

Ok please explain to me how did you not understand my comment, freedom of speech is fine I say it again, but do not BRAKE THE LAW while practicing freedom of speech, if you want to have a rally or opposition gathering fine go head but seek a permit. Please explain to me how the whore bags that sang a bull shit ass song in a church while it had service justifies freedom of speech? If they pulled this kind of shit in a U.S. temple with out approval they would have been arrested.

[tomanyasses]

but the respectful way is a opinion and to stop it, it is no longer freedom of speech, what you mean freedom of speech you approve of . so its not freedom of speech ,its approved speech, get it right dork
