Organizations Filed Purposes:
WE'RE MOBILIZING OUR MEMBERS TO SPEAK UP ABOUT CREATIVITY'S CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC VALUE, THE IMPORTANCE OF COPYRIGHT IN PROTECTING CREATIVITY, AND THE MASSIVE HARM CAUSED BY THE GLOBAL THEFT OF OUR CREATIVE WORKS. MILLIONS OF CREATIVES AND THOUSANDS OF BUSINESSES AROUND THE WORLD DEPEND ON COPYRIGHT TO BRING ALL OF US COUNTLESS MOMENTS OF INSPIRATION, LEARNING, AND JOY. OUR MISSION IS TO ADVOCATE FOR STRONG BUT APPROPRIATE COPYRIGHT PROTECTIONS AND TO EMPOWER CREATIVES TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST PIRACY AND HOW IT AFFECTS THEIR ABILITY TO CREATE AND TO MAKE A LIVING.
CreativeFuture promotes the value of expanded digital access to legitimate content, and the fundamental right of creatives to determine how their works are distributed.
CreativeFuture accomplishes their program service goals through 3 main initiatives: 1) We mobilize the creative communities to speak up about the value of creativity and how our works strengthen the fabric of our society. CreativeFuture brings creatives to Washington, D.C. to speak with policymakers about the importance of copyright. We also work closely within our communities to publish op-eds in outlets nationwide. 2) Our Youth Outreach initiative raises awareness about the cultural, ethical, and economic implications of creative ownership to foster greater respect for artists and the creative process. 3) "StandCreative" aims to change the perception that art is 'easy' by putting a face to some of the hardworking people who are trying to make a living by doing what they love and by bringing together our creative communities to use our collective, unified, and powerful voice to speak up about the value of creativity.
