Chu and Ferguson Announce Relaunch of Bipartisan Creative Rights Caucus | 2021-12-15 | 2021 | 2021-12 | Democrat | House | CA | Judy Chu | C001080 | chu.house.gov | chu | https://chu.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC — Today, Reps. Judy Chu (CA-27) and Drew Ferguson (GA-03) announced the re-launch of the Creative Rights Caucus (CRC) with Reps. Chu and Ferguson serving as co-chairs. The CRC co-chairs issued the following statements: "I am so proud to be partnering with Rep. Drew Ferguson to relaunch the Creative Rights Caucus," said Rep. Chu. "I helped to found the CRC because I wanted more of my Congressional colleagues to understand that the creative industries aren't just movie stars and high powered producers; these are a core part of our economy. In fact, in 2019, creative industries, including television, movies, recording artists, and many other creators, contributed 1.5 trillion dollars to our GDP and employed over 5.7 million workers. Most are blue collar jobs such as electricians, carpenters, make up artists, and more. But with many creative industries forced to pause operations during the pandemic, middle class workers were suffering. I'm proud that Congress stepped in and passed critical aid by fixing unemployment insurance so that the mostly gig-based entertainment workers were included in the relief and through programs like the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant. The creative industries are a vital part of the economy all across the country, from California to Georgia. That is why I am so happy to have a co-chair like Rep. Ferguson who knows and understands the individuals who are most hurt by things like piracy. I look forward to collaborating together to protect the rights of creators and help showcase their important work to our colleagues in Congress." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |
