Essential Information

Committee for the First Amendment

The Committee for the First Amendment (CFA) is a rapidly growing coalition of artists, storytellers, and entertainment industry workers organizing to defend free expression and resist attacks on the First Amendment. CFA operates as a fiscally sponsored project of Essential Information, Inc., a Washington, DC-based 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 1982. With approximately 3,500 members, CFA pursues three core strategies: building a community of diverse ambassadors who model courage and public resistance; engaging members' platforms and talents to shift public consciousness and dominant narratives; and using collective leverage to win corporate campaigns in the entertainment and media ecosystem.
