How STC and Distributed Creatives Fit Together
SaveTheCreators is a project of Distributed Creatives. This site is where the public advocacy work lives: the Declaration, the Hub, creator-rights education, research, and campaigns.
Distributed Creatives is the nonprofit umbrella behind the broader infrastructure work. When something is mainly a product, platform, technical roadmap, or tool guide, we keep it on the parent site so SaveTheCreators can stay focused on movement-building and public advocacy.
For that broader organizational and technology context, visit distributedcreatives.org.
