The Creative Coalition is the premier nonprofit, nonpartisan social and political advocacy organization of the entertainment industry. Founded in 1989 by prominent figures in the creative community, including actors Alec Baldwin, Ron Silver, Christopher Reeve, Susan Sarandon, Blair Brown and Stephen Collins, TCC educates and mobilizes leaders in the arts community on issues of public importance, specifically in the areas of First Amendment rights, arts advocacy and public education.

Public Education: The arts continue to suffer in American schools, especially in poor and minority communities.
Arts Advocacy: The Creative Coalition advocates any increases in the funding of the arts and protects the artistic freedom of expression.
Spotlight Initiative: a series of independent film releases with a unique and specific goal in mind: make a positive difference in the world.
