At the heart of the Dramatists Guild’s mission is the protection of our copyrights and first amendment rights.
The Dramatists Legal Defense Fund (DLDF) committee exists to advocate on behalf of writers who are confronting censorship on stages across America.
If you are a dramatist in need of legal resources to combat a violation of your rights, we want to help. To access resources related to attorneys and legal aid in our resource directory, you can click here. You can also access the DLDF's toolkit for producing shows on college campuses here.
If you are an attorney or are aware of any legal service group that would offer pro bono or discounted representation, please allow us to include them in our national legal services directory.
To contact the DLDF, email info@thedldf.org or call 866-236-6842. To donate to the DLDF, you can do so here.
We've recently unveiled a new guide titled "Rights & Resources for Dramatists in the Age of ICE." To access it, click here.
