The Dramatists Guild created the Dramatists Legal Defense Fund (DLDF) to advocate and to educate, and to provide you with a new resource in defense of the First Amendment and on behalf of a robust public domain.
In light of dwindling public funding for the arts, the DLDF advocates not only for writers, but for theaters and other theater artists (as well as audiences, schools, students, and the culture at large), all of whom are confronting censorship and other related issues of public import, including the diminishment of the public domain. Banned Together: A Censorship Cabaret is the DLDF’s featured event each year.
