Membership

We are a coalition of major creator-led groups and creative industry bodies, together representing over 500,000 creators.

We are an active and influential alliance that engages with parliament, industry figures and regulators to ensure that creators are at the heart of policy decisions and legislation that affect our world-leading creative industries.

We believe passionately that creators should be recognised for the amazing contribution they make to our world-leading creative industries. They should have the right to fair renumeration, better contract terms, retain copyright ownership of their work and enjoy the same protections and support as other creative businesses and workers.

Our strength is in our collaboration and joined-up voice. At such a critical time for creators, the more organisations that stand behind our asks, the more impact we can have.

We are really grateful to our members for their amazing work and continued commitment. If you are interested in being part of the Creators’ Rights Alliance, please get in touch to find out more.
