I just signed this petition and I’m urging everyone in the creative profession to do the same. (Although it’s a personal disappointment that dozens of creative orgs posted the statement without including an alt text. I had to scroll long & deep to find this one 😔 so bravo twuc)

Cultural sector organizations, like TWUC, are speaking out loudly to make sure artists’ rights are protected and preserved. It's important to hear directly from those whose work is being exploited. Sign the open letter on #AItraining: aitrainingstatement.org.

This is a critical time for creators around the world. Sign the statement today: “The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted.”

In Interview 7, Kim Fahner @modernirish " makes an important link between volunteerism & the writing community: "..in my work with @twuc, I continue to speak of the rewards of volunteerism and non-profit work....By working together, whether through mentorship, or through volunteering to help build community, we make our writerly community in Canada stronger and more tightly woven."
