The invitation

Join the line.


We are inviting musicians, painters, writers, actors, influencers, athletes, CEOs — and anyone with a platform, however small — to stand up and say one thing out loud: not in my name.

Three ways in

Pick the one that costs you an afternoon, not a year.


This campaign does not need your whole life. It needs a small, specific, public act — repeated by thousands of people at roughly the same time.

Tier one

The Voices

Record thirty seconds — phone camera, no production, no makeup — saying:

“Children don’t start wars. I stand with the line.”

Say it in your own language. Say it in your own words if ours don’t fit. Vertical video is fine — it is better, actually.

Recognition: featured on this site and across the campaign’s social channels.

Tier two

The Creators

Make something. Art, music, poetry, photography, film, a mural, a school assembly, a sermon, a lesson plan. Anything with the theme at its centre: there is a line, and we crossed it.

Submit it through the form and tell us where it lives. You keep your rights. Always.

Recognition: a place in the gallery, plus a revenue share to charity on anything we release together.

Tier three

The Amplifiers

Share the song. Share this page. Give up a slot — a newsletter, a stage, a billboard, a story, a staff meeting, a playlist — to something that isn’t selling anything.

Radio programmers, playlist curators, teachers and venue bookers: you are more useful than any celebrity.

Recognition: a Partner badge on the site.

Tell us who you are and what you can do.


A human reads every message. We collect the minimum: what we need to reply and to credit you. Nothing is sold, ever.

Website, profile, portfolio — whatever shows what you do.


The line so far


Every face here said the same sentence out loud, in public, with their real name attached. That is a smaller thing than it sounds, and a much bigger one.

Be the first to stand here
Your name
Your voice
Your platform
Your students
Your band

Public figures: your name here is not an endorsement of any government, party or armed group, and we will never present it as one. It is an endorsement of one sentence: children don’t start wars.

Before you send

What happens to what you give us.


Your video

Used on this site and the campaign’s social channels, unedited except for length and captions. Ask us to take it down and it is gone within 48 hours, no reason required.

Your artwork

Stays yours. We display it with your credit and a link. If anything is ever sold, the split goes to the charity partners on the transparency page, and you approve it in writing first.

Your name

Shown only if you want it shown. Tell us in the message field if you would rather take part quietly — plenty of people have good reasons, and none of them are our business.

Your data

Email and message, held in the form provider’s inbox and nowhere else. Not sold, not rented, not fed to advertising. See Privacy.
