About us
The Content Creators Coalition is a non-profit, artist-run, advocacy organization for musicians. With chapters in five cities, we are dedicated to working with songwriters, performers, and musicians for equity in the digital world.
If music generates money for anyone, therein lies the proof of its value and c3 is devoted to artists and creators receiving what theirs is.
There is a groundswell of musicians banding together to demand action and see laws put into place and c3 will continue to protect and support those creators as changes are made.
