Dozens of the signatories launched just such a campaign last week: https://www.persuasion.community/p/our-board . The organiser is Yascha Mounk, who wrote the article on David Shor and others that I linked to earlier.
And more broadly, the non-Shor examples cited in the letter could quite easily be described not as "chilling silencing" but as "perfectly foreseeable consequences of awful public opinions"

Are any of these about 'awful public opinions'?: "books are withdrawn for alleged inauthenticity; journalists are barred from writing on certain topics; professors are investigated for quoting works of literature in class"pic.twitter.com/BetMgDIML5

Well, to be fair they are such general statements that they could refer to literally anything, but they seem to relate to recent incidents (such as books being withdrawn from publishing due to Rowling's public comments) that are indeed related to such opinions
