About

Creative works are among our most precious cultural and economic exports because the ingenuity, skill, and craftsmanship of American creators are highly prized, and cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the world. 

The economic contribution of the creative community also strengthens America and keeps our nation competitive in the global economy. In fact, the core copyright industries added more than $1.8 trillion to our nation’s GDP and employed 9.6 million people in 2021 alone.

The Creative Rights Caucus serves to educate Members and the public about the importance of preserving and protecting the rights of the creative community in the United States. American creators of motion pictures, music, software, books, visual arts, and other creative works rely on Congress to protect their copyrights, human rights, First Amendment rights, and property rights. The Caucus holds regular meetings with key stakeholders in the creative community to hear about their issues and concerns, and facilitates an informed debate for legislative action that aims to protect their creative rights.   

This is about jobs and the economy. We must do all we can to encourage American ingenuity and innovation and create an environment in which members of the creative community can thrive and prosper.
