Based
on President Trump’s cut-the-arts budget proposal, all writers, musicians,
poets, singers, artists, and creative talent will need to fight back. Luckily, there’s one group that’s out front
lobbying for the arts and entertainment community, The Creative Coalition.
The non-profit organization speaks out on issues of importance, including First Amendment Rights, public funding for the arts, and arts education in public school.

The
Creative Coalition offers advocacy and plays an assertive role in presenting
the creative community’s views – testifying before Congress, sponsoring
awareness, building events, and actively informing the American public about
the issues threatening the sustainability and growth of the artistic community.
Nearly
three decades ago, in 1989, Ron Silver brought together a group of writers,
actors, producers, directors, agents, designers, and lawyers from the
entertainment world and founded The Creative Coalition.
The
group not only speaks out on matters of vital importance to the arts and
writers, but it also uses its resources and membership to address major issues
confronting Americans, including gun control, violence, campaign finance
reform, the role of the media, and other topics of broad concern.
In
an open letter to visitors of the TCC website – www.thecreativecoalition.org – President Tim
Daly says:
“Every
American citizen has a right -- and a duty-- to participate in the political process…The
Creative Coalition was created by us and for us to ensure that our involvement
in the political and policy-making process is well informed and constructively
channeled…
“We
play a privileged role in national life.
Throughout American history, artists, writers, and entertainers have
addressed political issues through their work.
In our free society, novels, movies, musicals, and all the arts have
often had a profound impact on political discourse. But today, many within the creative world speak
out directly and forcefully not just through their work, but also as citizens
and individuals.
“The
Creative Coalition exists to educate, organize, and mobilize the arts and
entertainment communities to ensure that those voices are strong, clear, focused,
and knowledgeable.”
Indeed,
groups like TCC are invaluable and require our support. Volunteer, donate, and champion the ideals
that keep our nation strong and support the book publishing community.
