Hundreds of Writers Sign Letter Against Trump

HeadlineMay 25, 2016

More than 600 U.S. writers have signed an “open letter to the American people” opposing Donald Trump’s candidacy. Signed by authors including Stephen King, Junot Díaz, Amy Tan and Dave Eggers, the letter reads in part: “The rise of a political candidate who deliberately appeals to the basest and most violent elements in society, who encourages aggression among his followers, shouts down opponents, intimidates dissenters, and denigrates women and minorities, demands, from each of us, an immediate and forceful response.”
