I emailed the Working Partners at https://coolabi.com/about-us/#contact with the following:

I support Gillian Philip

Hello,

I have adored the Warrior Cats books from when I was in elementary school, and I was very dismayed to see that Gillian Philip was fired for supporting JK Rowling's right to free speech. There are very active communities online of trans rights activists who make it their hobby to brigade and mass spam companies about their 'transphobia,' and their goal is to censor any thought that doesn't completely go with their narrative. Ms. Philip should have the right to speak her mind and especially support the right to free speech. It greatly disappoints me that an author as talented as her would be censored.

I know you've already fired her, and so it is unlikely that you'd reverse your decision so soon, but please know that I will now be boycotting the Warrior books and any other properties your group produces, until you make it clear that you support the right to free speech.

Thank you for your time, [name]

You motivated me to write my own email (less eloquent, less well worded - but still). Thank you.
