Thank you, Dashka, for speaking out and being part of this legal challenge. We in such an avalanche and have to put our time and efforts towards the places where we can have most impact. I'm so grateful to you, the other authors and the publishers for bringing this legal action. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help or amplify this message.
